Łódź Kaliska is a main railway station of the central Polish city of Łódź. It is located west of the center of the city, in the district of Polesie, and it consists of six platforms. First complex of the station, designed by Polish architect Czesław Domaniewski, was built in 1902 in Secession style. Inside, there were several secession elements, including crystal windows in doors, as well as brass fittings. The station served the Warsaw–Kalisz Railway, built in 1900 - 1902.

On September 28, 1946, a major rail accident occurred at the station, in which 21 persons died. In 1994, a brand new complex of the Łódź Kaliska station was completed, and has been in use since then. The station provides connections to all major cities of Poland, including Warsaw, Kraków, Bydgoszcz, Katowice, Poznań, Wrocław, Szczecin, and Gdańsk, as well as Prague in the Czech Republic. The station is the terminus of the Łódzka Kolej Aglomeracyjna (Łódź Commuter Railway) serving towns in the Łódź region.
