Saarbrücken Ost station is a station in Saarbrücken, the capital of the German state of Saarland, which is served by Regional-Express and Regionalbahn services.

The breakpoint was built to connect the districts of Rotenbühl, Kaninchenberg, Sankt Arnual and Eschberg to the local rail network. However, it has lost importance over time. In 1997, platform tracks 3 and 4 were closed for passenger services. Track 3 was converted into a terminating track.
