Tainan Station (Chinese: 台南車站; pinyin: Táinán Chēzhàn) is a railway station of the Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) Western Line located in East District, Tainan, Taiwan. Situated in center of the old town square of Tainan, Tainan Station is the main station of the city and also one of the major stations along the western trunk line in Taiwan.
The Shalun Line, opened in 2011, allows through services to link the station with THSR Tainan Station.
The station has one island platform and one side platform. The current station structure opened on March 15, 1936, which included a hotel on the second floor (the only station of its kind in Taiwan). The hotel closed in 1965, and the restaurant was closed in 1986.
Construction is ongoing for a plan to move the tracks and station underground by 2017.
