The Heuston Station (Irish: Stáisiún Heuston ; to 1966 Kingsbridge Station ), also known as Dublin Heuston , is one of two railway stations of the Irish capital Dublin and one of the main stations of the country. From here, trains go to the south, southwest and west of the country.

The station is operated by the national railway company Iarnród Éireann (IÉ). It also houses the headquarters of the parent company Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ). It is named after Seán Heuston , one of the executed leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising , who worked in the station's offices.
