Riga Central Station (Latvian: Rīgas Centrālā stacijа) is the main railway station in Riga, Latvia. Part of the building is a shopping centre.
Three rail mainlines depart the station to the east:
Riga–Skulte
Riga–Lugaži, through to the Estonian border crossing at Valka.
Riga-Krustpils, which then splits into lines to Daugavpils and Zilupe.
Riga–Jelgava, including lines through to Liepāja.
Riga–Tukums, including trains through to Ventspils.
The first railway station in Riga was constructed to serve as the western terminal station of the new railway line from Riga to Daugavpils.
Construction of the station started in 1858.
The station opened on 12 October 1861 along with the railway line, which connected Riga with Daugavpils and the Saint Petersburg–Warsaw railway line.
In 1889, a Neo-Byzantine style chapel was also built in front of the railway station to commemorate the miraculous survival of Emperor Alexander III and his family at the Borki train disaster in 1888.

Two separate stations were in operation in 19th century — one serving the line to Daugavpils and the other towards Jūrmala. They were joined and reconstructed in 1914 and functioned until the 1960s. In 1960 the current station building was opened and in 1965 — a second one.
There are many stops at this location. The main stop is the railway station, Riga Central Station, which operates all passenger trains within Latvia. Most public transport stops are situated in the nearby streets — Marijas iela, Merķeļa iela, Satekles iela and 13. janvāra iela. Buses and trolleybuses stop here.
