Makkasan Railway Station is a railway station located in Makkasan Subdistrict, Ratchathewi District, Bangkok. it is a class 1 railway station located 5.171 km (3.2 mi) from Bangkok Railway Station. The station opened in January 1908 as part of the Eastern Line Bangkok-Chachoengsao Junction section. It is the location of the Makkasan depot, and the depot opened in 1897 when the railway started operations. Makkasan depot was destroyed during the Second World War, and was rebuilt using loans from the World Bank.

Despite not officially having a status as a junction, a freight-only branch line to Mae Nam Station, Bangkok Port and the Bang Chak Oil Refinery branches off from here. A few container and oil trains use the line daily.

Although Makkasan Station (Airport Rail Link), shares the same name as Makkasan Railway Station, it is located at different locations; the Airport Rail Link Station located nearer to Asok Halt.
