Glasgow Queen Street (Scottish Gaelic: Sràid na Banrighinn) is a passenger railway terminus serving the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland. It is the smaller of the city's two mainline railway terminals (the larger being Glasgow Central) and is the third-busiest station in Scotland behind Central and Edinburgh Waverley (as of March 2023).

The station serves mainly destinations in the Central Belt and Highlands of Scotland, with Glasgow Central covering destinations in the Lowlands of Scotland, and cross-border services into England. Major lines on the station's terminal high-level platforms include the Glasgow-Edinburgh via Falkirk line to Edinburgh Waverley, the principal and fastest route from Glasgow-Edinburgh. Other lines include the West Highland Line for services to and from Oban, Fort William and Mallaig, as well as the Highland Main Line and Glasgow–Dundee line for services to Stirling, Perth, Inverness, Dundee and Aberdeen. On the station's through low-level platforms is the suburban North Clyde line, running West to Milngavie, Dumbarton, Balloch and Helensburgh, and East to Springburn, Airdrie, Bathgate and Edinburgh Waverley (although this is slower than the line via Falkirk).

The station is located between George Street to the south and Cathedral Street Bridge to the north and is at the northern end of Queen Street adjacent to George Square, Glasgow's major civic square. It is also a short walk from Buchanan Street, Glasgow's main shopping district and the location of Buchanan Street subway station, the closest connection to Queen Street for the Glasgow Subway network.

The station underwent major redevelopment works by Network Rail in the late 2010s. In October 2017, a £120 million project began on bringing the station up to modern standards, demolishing many of the 1960s buildings and replacing them with a new station concourse, which was completed in 2021.
