Carlisle railway station, also known as Carlisle Citadel station, is a Grade II* listed railway station serving the city of Carlisle, Cumbria, England, and is a major station on the West Coast Main Line, lying 102 miles (164 km) south east of Glasgow Central, and 299 miles (481 km) north north west of London Euston. It is also the northern terminus of the celebrated Settle and Carlisle Line – notionally (and historically) a continuation of the Midland Main Line from Leeds, Sheffield and ultimately London St Pancras.

During September 1847, the first services departed the station, even though construction would not be completed until the following year. It was built in a neo-Tudor style in accordance with the designs produced by the English architect William Tite; much of this architecture remains in the present day. Originally, Carlisle Station was operated as just one of a number of stations present in the city – the others being at Crown Street and London Road – but quickly became the dominant station as early as 1851. Its predecessors had their passenger services redirected to it and were eventually closed. Between 1875 and 1876, the station was expanded and extended significantly in order to better accommodate the arrival of the Midland Railway, which became the seventh different railway company to serve it upon their arrival. This occasion would mark the last major restructuring of the facility.

The Beeching cuts of the 1960s affected Carlisle Station, particularly via two significant rail closures, these being the former North British Railway lines to Silloth, closed on 7 September 1964, and Edinburgh via Galashiels, the Waverley Line, closed on 6 January 1969. The closure programme also claimed other neighbouring lines, including the Castle Douglas and Dumfries Railway and Portpatrick Railway (the "Port Road") in 1965, resulting in a significant mileage increase via the Glasgow South Western Line & Ayr to reach Stranraer Harbour, and thus Northern Ireland. The layout of the station has undergone few changes of any significance other than the singling of the ex-NER Tyne Valley route down to London Road Junction as part of the 1972–73 re-signalling scheme, which was associated with the electrification of the West Coast Main Line (WCML). Renovations to both the platforms and the glass roof of Carlisle Station was performed between 2015 and 2018.
