Latour-de-Carol-Enveitg (Catalan: La Tor de Querol-Enveig) or Latour-de-Carol is a railway station in Enveitg and Latour-de-Carol, Occitanie, France. It is the current terminus of three lines.

France's SNCF operates TER (local) services on the Portet-Saint-Simon–Puigcerdà railway (from Toulouse-Matabiau) and on the Ligne de Cerdagne known as Train Jaune (from Villefranche-de-Conflent, with connections to Perpignan). Spain's Renfe Operadora runs Rodalies de Catalunya trains from L'Hospitalet de Llobregat on the Barcelona commuter rail line R3. SNCF also runs Intercités de Nuit night trains to Paris.

Latour-de-Carol is one of the few stations in the world with three different gauges. Others include Montreux railway station, Hendaye station and Jenbach railway station, Madrid Atocha station(when the metro is included), Powell Street and Embarcadero stations in San Francisco, and several stations in Tokyo, mostly on the Toei Shinjuku Line. The line to Toulouse-Matabiau is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge; the line to Barcelona is 1,668 mm (5 ft 5+21⁄32 in) Iberian gauge; and the Cerdagne line to Villefranche-de-Conflent is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge. The three lines each have a different voltage supply: 1500 V DC (overhead France), 3000 V DC (overhead Spain), and 850 V DC (3rd Rail, Ligne de Cerdagne), respectively.
