Slagelse railway station (Danish: Slagelse Station or Slagelse Banegård) is the main railway station serving the town of Slagelse in southwestern Zealand, Denmark. It is located in the centre of the town, on the northern edge of the historic town centre, and immediately adjacent to the Slagelse bus station.
