Anand Railway Station is a major junction located in Anand, Gujarat. It is a junction on the railway line which connects Ahmedabad with Vadodara and Mumbai and was opened in 1901.

In 2011, Indian Railways announced its intention to set up "multi-function complex" including budget hotels at Anand Railway Station.
