Gare de Rouen-Rive-Droite, Railway station in Rouen, France.

Gare de Rouen-Rive-Droite is a station built on the edge of the trench holding its tracks, between the Beauvoisine and Saint-Maur tunnels. Its late Art Nouveau passenger building, in exposed reinforced concrete, has a light-stone facade with tall mullioned windows under a broad glass arch, and a 37-metre clock tower capped with a green copper dome. Inside, a high arched hall with dark beams and cream ribs leads to three footbridges over the platforms.

A passenger station opened on rue Verte in 1847, designed by British architect William Tite on the former Carmes gardens. Declared insufficient, it was rebuilt from 1913 by architect Adolphe Dervaux, with reinforced concrete by the Pelnard Considère Caquot office. The First World War delayed work until 1928, when President Gaston Doumergue inaugurated the late Art Nouveau building, listed as a monument historique in 1975.

The station's name changed from Rue Verte, after the street it faces, to Rouen-Rive-Droite, marking its position on the right bank of the Seine. In 1967 Robert Savary painted two frescoes in the salle des pas perdus, one showing Old Rouen and one the city's port, with a plaque between them commemorating railway workers killed in the Second World War.

The station lies in a trench between the Beauvoisine and Saint-Maur tunnels, so passenger platforms are limited in length; the longest measures 311 m. The building stands at the top of Rue Jeanne-d'Arc, and an underground tram stop, Gare-Rue Verte, connects with the station. Three parallel footbridges link the building to the platforms.

The 1928 building is a late Art Nouveau work by architect Adolphe Dervaux, with sculpture commissioned from Camille Lefèvre and an exposed reinforced-concrete structure by the engineering office Pelnard-Considère-Caquot. Its 37-metre clock tower rises beside the tracks. The earlier 1847 rue Verte station was designed by the British architect William Tite.
