Silkeborg station (Danish: Silkeborg Station or Danish: Silkeborg Banegård) is a railway station serving the town of Silkeborg in Central Jutland, Denmark. It is located in the centre of the town, on the southern edge of the historic town centre, and immediately adjacent to the Silkeborg bus station.

The station is located on the Skanderborg–Skjern railway line from Skanderborg to Skjern. The train services are currently operated by the private public transport company GoCollective which run frequent regional train services between Aarhus and Herning. The station opened in 1871 with the opening of the Skanderborg–Silkeborg railway line. The former railway connections to Horsens, Bramming, Rødkærsbro and Langå were closed in the 1960s, meaning the station is now an intermediate station on the Skanderborg–Skjern railway line. The station building from 1871, built to designs by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe (1826–1895), was listed in 1999.

The station opened on 2 May 1871 as the western terminus of the Skanderborg–Silkeborg railway line. A few years later, the railway line was prolonged to Herning in 1877, and since then Silkeborg station has been an intermediate station on the Skanderborg–Herning railway line.

The former railway lines to Horsens, Bramming, Rødkærsbro and Langå were closed in the 1960s, meaning the station has been left with eastward and westward connections only.

Until the 1990's an industrial track connected Silkeborg station with Silkeborg paper mill.

The station building from 1871 was designed by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe (1826–1895), known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways. The station building was listed in 1999.

Inside the station building there is a combined ticket office and convenience store operated by 7-Eleven, ticket machines, waiting room, lockers and toilets.

Immediately adjacent to the station is a large bus terminal. The station forecourt has a taxi stand, and the station has a bicycle parking station as well as a car park with approximately 140 parking spaces.

The train services are currently operated by the private public transport company GoCollective which run frequent direct regional train services from the station to Aarhus, Skanderborg, Herning and Skjern.
