The Sentul Komuter station is a Malaysian commuter train station formerly known as Sentul railway station and is located in the east side of and named after Sentul, Kuala Lumpur. Since 2015, the station has been on the Seremban Line of the KTM Komuter train services. For a long time, this station served as the northern terminus of the Sentul-Port Klang Line until the line was extended to Batu Caves, when the station continued to be on the Batu Caves-Port Klang Line until the route change in December 2015 to accommodate the Klang Valley Double Tracking upgrade.
The station is located at the end of Jalan Perhentian, off Jalan Ipoh.
The station is situated a distance away from two elevated Ampang Line stations which share similar names as the town of Sentul and the Komuter station, and serve the same locality. The Sentul Komuter station is located 730 m southwest from the Sentul Timur LRT station, and 900 m northwest from the Sentul LRT station, which is located in the southern area of Sentul.
The Sentul station as a building has existed since Sentul was used as a central workshop and depot for Federated Malay States Railway trains, but was not demolished and replaced during the 1989-1995 Klang Valley electrification and double-tracking project. Rather, the building was retained and retrofitted to support access to KTM Komuter services, with the addition of faregates and the upgrading of the ticket office. The station is also one of a few remaining stations designated in the Komuter system to be constructed of wood. Although located along more than three railway tracks and located beside a major depot, the station is fashioned as a modestly sized station, with room for only a waiting area and two-room office space. The station was, nevertheless, in charge of managing railway switches and supports a small railway staff.
