Antrim railway station serves Antrim in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Antrim station was opened on 11 April 1848, and was closed for goods traffic on 4 January 1965. [cite web | title=Antrim | work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-08-27] The passenger station is still open to trains on the Belfast to Derry line although the possibility of reopening the Lisburn-Antrim line as a circular route, with a halt at Belfast International Airport has been discussed.
