Vikersund Station (Norwegian: Vikersund stasjon) is a railway station located at the village of Vikersund in Modum, Norway, on the Randsfjorden Line. The station is served by some express trains between Bergen and Oslo operated by Norges Statsbaner.
The station was opened in 1866, as part of the Randsfjorden Line. In 1872, Vikersund became the terminus of the Krøderen Line, a 26 kilometres (16 mi) branch line to the lake of Krøderen. In 1985, the Krøderen Line was abandoned and transformed to a heritage railway. The heritage railway outings are based at Vikersund Station.
