Kirkenes Station (Norwegian: Kirkenes stasjon) is a former railway station, located at the town of Kirkenes in Sør-Varanger Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The station was the terminus of the Kirkenes–Bjørnevatn Line.[1][2] While the line still exists, it no longer has passenger service, instead serving the transport of iron ore from a nearby mine to the Port of Kirkenes.
