The Belgradе Centre railway station (Serbian: Железничка станица Београд Центар / Železnička stanica Beograd Centar), known as Prokop (Serbian Cyrillic: Прокоп) during its construction, is the new railway station at the core of the massive reconstruction of the Belgrade railway junction in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, which officially started in 1974. Prokop is located in the Belgrade municipality of Savski Venac.

The unsuccessful, decades-long attempted construction of the new central railway station of Belgrade was hampered by a lack of funding to finish adjoining 14 km of tunnels, several railway bridges of whom the New Railroad Bridge across the Sava river, a new road network connecting to the city and technical installations. Belgrade Centre station was opened on 26 January 2016, serving only two daily trains to Novi Sad, as well as Belgrade commuter railways. The remaining platforms and tracks became operational and all services are to be rerouted to Prokop from the old Belgrade Main railway station.

Prokop is located at the southern edges of downtown Belgrade to which it is directly connected by the Kneza Miloša street. It borders the area of former Zapadni Vračar on the north, Mostar and Senjak on the west and Dedinje on the south. It is bounded by three boulevards: Franše D'Eperea (named after general D'Esperey and in fact a part of A1 highway), Vojvode Putnika and Kneza Aleksandra Karađorđevića (named after Prince Alexandre).
