Hyllie Station (Swedish: Hyllie station) is a railway station located in the Hyllie city district in the southwestern part of Malmö, Sweden. It is the final station on the Swedish side of the Öresund Line before trains pass the Öresund Bridge towards Denmark.

The station opened in 2010 as a part of the newly built City Tunnel along with Triangeln railway station and a new underground part of Malmö Central Station. It consists of 2 island platforms serving 4 tracks in an open cut layout.

The station is located next to Malmö Arena and the Emporia shopping mall and is being served by Øresundståg regional trains and Pågatågen commuter trains. It is an important hub for regional bus services to/from Trelleborg, Vellinge, Skanör and Falsterbo. Many companies, including Skanska, also have offices in the station area.

Border control

Since 12 November 2015 the Swedish Police perform ID checks on passengers on incoming Øresundståg trains from Denmark via Copenhagen Airport, in response to the European migrant crisis. Trains arriving in Hyllie have to wait around 15 minutes to be cleared for departure. For Swedish and Nordic citizens, a driver's license should suffice. For citizens outside the European Union, Norway and Switzerland, a passport is needed, and if applicable a permit to travel freely within the EU, like a visa or residence permit, is needed. The railway station was built with the Schengen Agreement in mind, saying there are no border control between concerned countries, so no border control facilities were planned. Since the station has four tracks, it was possible to fence one track and perform border control there, although bridge traffic had to be reduced.
