Location Kelenföldi vasútállomásLocation within Budapest

Kelenföld railway station (Hungarian: Kelenföldi vasútállomás or incorrectly Kelenföldi pályaudvar, and until 2007 officially Budapest-Kelenföld) is among Budapest's four busiest railway stations (the others are Keleti pu, Déli pu and Nyugati pu). Opened in 1861, it is situated south-west of the city centre, in Újbuda or District XI in the suburb Kelenföld.

Today, Kelenföld is an extremely busy station, with almost all passenger and freight services operated by Hungarian Railways towards Transdanubia passing through.

The station is served by Kelenföld vasútállomás metro station and is the terminus of the Line 4 of the Budapest Metro which opened on 28 March 2014.

Next to the station there is a suburban Volánbusz bus terminal.

As of 2024, the old station building is undergoing renovations and is set to become a part of the Hungarian Technical and Transportation Museum.
