Jerusalem Binyanei HaUma Railway Station is a future railway station on the future high-speed railway to Jerusalem near Binyanei HaUma in Jerusalem, Israel. The station is currently under construction and will be mostly underground, 60–80 m deep. It is located adjacent to the Jerusalem Central Bus Station and the Jerusalem Light Rail line which is currently under construction.

Construction of the station's foundations began in 2009, after the company Ramat beat Terre Armee, Ram Engineering and Linom in a tender to excavate the station's lower level and platforms at the cost of NIS 83 million.^[1] Ramat's excavation was halted for an extended period of time due to financial problems at the company and was restarted in early 2010. As of April 2011, tenders for subsequent construction phases of the station's structure have yet to be published.

The station's total floor area will be 26,000 m²,^[1] and the length of the platforms will be 300 m.^[2] The station is set to double as a shelter in case of a biological or chemical attack, being able to provide refuge for 5,000 people.^[3]
