The Pulau Sebang/Tampin railway station (formerly Tampin railway station) is a Malaysian train station on the West Coast Line located near and named after the border towns of Pulau Sebang, Malacca and Tampin, Negeri Sembilan. The station itself is situated in Malaccan territory.
The station is served by the KTM ETS, KTM Komuter's Seremban Line services.
There was an unresolved dispute to what the Tampin railway station is named as. The people in Negeri Sembilan called the railway station "Tampin railway station" while the people in Malacca called it "Pulau Sebang railway station". KTM also confirmed that the railway station's name is "Tampin" not "Pulau Sebang" but however even after a signboard both that reads "TAMPIN/PULAU SEBANG" was put on the platforms the dispute is still ongoing. However, on 4 January 2013, KTM resolved the naming dispute by changing the station's name from just Tampin to Pulau Sebang/Tampin.
The station began operations on 15 July 1905 when construction of the West Coast Line reached Tampin from Seremban. Later on 1 December 1905, the 34-kilometre (21 mi) Tampin-Melaka Line was opened. The main trunk line to Gemas was only opened about a year later on 1 October 1906. The Tampin-Melaka Line was later dismantled by the Japanese in World War II.
The old station building was demolished on 11 April 2013 for the Seremban-Gemas Electrification and Double-Tracking Project, after 108 years of operations and a 1995 reconstruction.
