Praha Masarykovo nádraží (Prague Masaryk railway station) is a terminal railway station located in the New Town area of Prague, near Republic Square (Náměstí Republiky).

It was the first railway station in the city to serve steam trains, and the second oldest railway station in Prague, Czech Republic (the first is Praha-Dejvice, formerly Bruska on the Lány Horse-drawn Railway). The station was designed by Antonín Jüngling and came into service in 1845.

Nowadays the station only serves regional and suburban trains, because the larger Praha hlavní nádraží does not have enough capacity. In 2010 it served 48,838 trains and 9.6 million passengers. The station is currently being reconstructed, and will become the terminus of the planned railway connection with Václav Havel Airport Prague.

Since it opened in 1845, Masaryk Railway Station has had the following names:

For much of its existence, the station has been named after the founder of Czechoslovakia, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.
