Rosario (Central Córdoba) is a railway station in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. It is located at the junction of 27 de Febrero Boulevard and Juan Manuel de Rosas St., south of the city center.

The station was part of the Córdoba Central Railway (then added to Belgrano Railway network). Closed for passenger services since 1949, it is currently operated by freight rail transport company Trenes Argentinos Cargas y Logística.

The station served as a terminus of the Córdoba and Rosario Railway company, which laid down its first rails in 1888. The line went north to the city of Rafaela and then to Córdoba. In 1912, the company merged with the Córdoba Central Railway.

The central block of the Rosario station was completely destroyed by a fire on 31 December 1921. The reconstruction of the building was started almost immediately. It ended in 1926 with the construction of a characteristic cupola (dome-shaped vault), which has been preserved until the present.
