Gembloux railway station (French: Gare de Gembloux; Dutch: Station Gembloers)[a] is a railway station in Gembloux, Namur, Belgium. The station was opened on 14 June 1855 by the Grande Compagnie de Luxembourg on railway lines 144, 147 and 161. It is operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (SNCB/NMBS).[1]

The station is primarily used by commuters travelling into nearby Brussels (40 minutes away) and Namur (10 minutes away). It has curved platforms allowing for high-speed rail to pass through without problem, allowing for speeds up to 200 km/h. The station itself is currently under expansion due to the high number of users from the growing population of Gembloux.
