Sedrun railway station is a metre gauge railway station serving the village of Sedrun, in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The station is at the eastern end of the Oberalp Pass. It forms part of the Furka Oberalp Bahn (FO), which connects Brig in Valais, via Andermatt in Uri, with Göschenen, Uri, and, via the Oberalp Pass, with Sedrun and Disentis/Mustér, Graubünden.

Since 1 January 2003 (2003-01-01), the FO has been owned and operated by the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB), following a merger between the FO and the Brig-Visp-Zermatt railway (BVZ).

Rail services to Sedrun

The MGB operates regional services between Andermatt and Disentis/Mustér via Sedrun, at hourly intervals. These services connect in Andermatt with other MGB regional services, operating between Brig and Göschenen. They also connect in Disentis/Mustér with similar hourly regional services, operated by the Rhaetian Railway and heading further east.

Additionally, the MGB operates frequent car shuttle trains between Andermatt and Sedrun, via the Oberalp Pass.

Every day, several Glacier Express trains, which are operated at this point by the MGB, pass through Sedrun, but do not stop there.
