Kunowice-Frankfurt was a Polish-German railway border crossing in Kunowice, Słubice commune, Lubusz Voivodeship, with border clearance on the Polish side at Kunowice and then Rzepin, and on the German side at Frankfurt. It operated around the clock for passenger and freight traffic and for local border traffic, on the Poznań–Berlin train route.

It was closed on 21 December 2007 under the Schengen Agreement.
The crossing existed as a Polish-German railway border checkpoint in Kunowice, Słubice commune, Lubusz Voivodeship, with clearance points at Kunowice and Rzepin on the Polish side and Frankfurt on the German side. During the GDR era it operated around the clock for passenger and freight traffic, controlled by the Border Protection Unit in Kunowice. It was abolished on 21 December 2007 under the Schengen Agreement.
The crossing's Polish border control was handled successively by the Border Guard post at Kunowice and the post at Świecko, based in Słubice. Trains on the Poznań–Berlin line passed through around the clock, and small border traffic was allowed alongside passenger and freight traffic. The name pairs the Polish village of Kunowice with the German city of Frankfurt an der Oder.
The crossing closed on 21 December 2007 under the Schengen Agreement, so no border checks take place there today; the former Polish control point was at Kunowice, with further posts at Rzepin and on the German side at Frankfurt. Trains on the Poznań–Berlin line once passed through around the clock.
The Polish border checkpoint was first at Kunowice, then moved to Rzepin, while the German side was at Frankfurt; the crossing on the Poznań–Berlin line operated around the clock. It closed on 21 December 2007 under the Schengen Agreement.
