New Railway Station metro station (Greek: Νέος Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός, listen), abbreviated on signage as Neos Sid. Stathmos (Νέος Σιδ. Σταθμός), is a metro station at the Thessaloniki railway station, serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It serves as the western terminus of both lines and entered service in 2024. Construction of this station has been held back by major archaeological finds, and it is designated as a mid-importance archaeological site by Attiko Metro, the company overseeing its construction.

The oldest proposal for a metro station at this location goes back to 1918, when it was proposed as a terminus for a metropolitan railway line essentially running the same route as the current Line 1. Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos was also the terminus for the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.
