Podbrdo railway station (Slovene: Železniška postaja Podbrdo; Italian: Stazione di Piedicolle; German: Bahnhof Podberda) serves the settlement of Podbrdo, in the municipality of Tolmin, Slovenia.
The station forms part of the Bohinj Railway between Jesenice, Slovenia, and Trieste, Italy. It is situated at the southern portal of the Bohinj Tunnel, which is the longest railway tunnel in Slovenia (6,327.3 metres (20,759 ft)) and passes underneath Mount Kobla and the Julian Alps drainage divide between the Danube Valley and the Adriatic Sea.
The station was opened on 19 July 1906, as Bahnhof Podberda (its German language name). At that time, it was located within the Austrian Empire, and its original operator was the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways.
After World War I, and the annexation of Podberda to the Kingdom of Italy, the station was renamed Stazione di Piedicolle (its Italian language name). It also became the Bohinj Railway's border crossing point between the Ferrovie dello Stato (Kingdom of Italy) and the Yugoslav Railways (Slovene: Jugoslovanske železnice) of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
