Malatya railway station is the main railway station in the city of Malatya,[1] Turkey. The station was built in 1931 by the Turkish State Railways as part of the railway to Diyarbakır. TCDD Taşımacılık operates three trains through the station: the Lake Van Express to Ankara or Tatvan, the Southern Express to Ankara or Kurtalan and the Euphrates Express to Elazığ or Adana.[2]

The station building was built in the Art deco style and is similar to the station buildings of Sivas, Manisa and Diyarbakır stations.[3]
