Faro station (Portuguese: Estação de Faro) is the main railway station in the city of Faro, Portugal, operated by Comboios de Portugal.[1] It opened on 1 July 1889.

The line to the north-west is electrified, using overhead catenary, the line east, to the terminus at Vila Real de Santo António, is not.

In 1999, following the creation of a rail crossing over the River Tagus at Lisbon, the Alfa Pendular high speed electric tilting train service was introduced on the Braga-Oporto-Lisbon-Faro line, with through trains south of Lisbon starting in 2003.
