Gravelines, Heritage site and railway station in Gravelines, France.

Gravelines railway station is a heritage-listed railway facility that remains in active service. The station features passenger platforms connected by an underground passage, along with modern ticketing facilities and waiting areas.

The station lies on the Coudekerque-Branche–Les Fontinettes line at kilometre point 23.566. Its timber-framed passenger building, with brick infill and boarding over the upper storeys, was listed as a monument historique on 14 February 1995. Wood was chosen because the station stood within the glacis of the citadel, earning it the nickname "gare Western". A branch to Saint-Omer via Watten and Bourbourg was transferred to road by ministerial decision on 26 December 1938.

The station building displays features of Northern French architecture with red brick facades and symmetrical window arrangements. These regional design elements remain visible to visitors who enter the structure today.

The station is accessible daily and offers regular connections to nearby cities such as Dunkirk and Calais. Integrated bus services at the station entrance provide additional transport options.

The station's timber-frame construction, brick infill and upper-storey cladding earned it the nickname "gare Western". Wood was chosen because the station lies within the glacis of the citadel, where masonry was restricted; the street facade's planks originally also covered the ground floor.
