Rovereto railway station (Italian: Ferrovie Stazione di Rovereto) serves the Comune of Rovereto in the autonomous province of Trentino, northeastern Italy.

The station was opened in 1859 by the Austrian Empire's Südbahn and transferred to Italy in 1919. Rovereto station is located on the trans-Alpine Brenner Railway connecting Verona and Innsbruck.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). The commercial area of the passenger building, however, is managed by Centostazioni, whereas train services are operated by Trenitalia and ÖBB-DB.

Rovereto railway station is situated at Piazzale Paolo Orsi, the western edge and a five-minute walk to the city centre.

The station was opened on 23 March 1859 upon the completion of the Trento-Ala section of the Brenner Railway.

Initial train operations were entrusted to the Austrian Empire's Südbahn (Imperial Royal Privileged Southern Railway Company of Austria, Venice and Central Italy / German: ).

After Austria-Hungary's defeat in the First World War, the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919) rewarded Italy with annexation of County of Tyrol's territory south of the Brenner Pass. Ownership of all railway stations from Ala/Ahl-am-Etsch to Brenner, including Rovereto, were consequently transferred to Ferrovie dello Stato (FS).
