Gillani Railway Station (Urdu: گیلانی ریلوے اسٹیشن, Sindhi: گيلاني ريلوي اسٽيشن) is an abandoned railway station on Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) loop line in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan. In the past, Pakistan Railways had a plan to establish a central railway station for Karachi there. For a while it was the terminus station of Tezrao and a stop for the Chenab Express when it ran via the KCR loop for a few years in the 1990s.
