Romanshorn railway station (German: Bahnhof Romanshorn) is a railway station that serves the municipality of Romanshorn, in the canton of Thurgau, Switzerland. Opened in 1855, the station is owned and operated by SBB-CFF-FFS. It forms the junction between the Winterthur–Romanshorn railway, the Schaffhausen–Rorschach railway and the Romanshorn–Nesslau Neu St. Johann railway.

The SBB-CFF-FFS, THURBO and the Südostbahn operate both long-distance and regional traffic to and from the station. This traffic includes three St. Gallen S-Bahn lines, a Zürich S-Bahn line, and the Voralpen Express.

Romanshorn railway station is situated in Neustrasse, at the eastern edge of the city centre.

On the other side of the tracks is the Romanshorn ferry terminal, for ferries across Lake Constance.

After two years of planning, the station was opened in 1855, together with the first stage of the Winterthur–Romanshorn railway, of which it was a terminus. Also in 1855, the station building was erected, according to plans by Johann Jakob Breitinger.

In 1869, the Swiss Northeastern Railway (German: Schweizerische Nordostbahn) put into service the Seelinie between Romanshorn and Rorschach. In the same year, the Lake Constance train ferry was established, for cross-border goods traffic to and from Germany between Romanshorn and Friedrichshafen, and between Lindau and Bregenz.
