Estação Central do Brasil (Portuguese pronunciation: [is.taˈsɐ̃w̃ sẽˈtɾaw du bɾaˈziw]) is a major train station in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.

The location chosen for this station was the Campo de Santana, an area close to the city center and at the time the site of many government buildings.

[2][3] The station, then known as the Estação do Campo due to its location, was opened along with the first section of the railway line from Rio de Janeiro to Queimados in March 1858 in the presence of Emperor Pedro II, Empress Teresa Christine and the bishop.

[3] Already in 1870, the station was renovated and enlarged following a project by Jorge Grademaker Grunewald, in order to accommodate the growing number of passengers living in the new suburban districts served by the train.

From 1937, the new authoritarian regime in Brazil, the Estado Novo, undertook major works in Rio de Janeiro, in particular the construction of new buildings for public institutions, and the widening and opening of streets, including the creation of the Avenida Presidente Vargas and ambitions for a much larger train station.

After passenger traffic on medium and long-distance routes in Brazil was practically stopped in the 1990s, Central do Brasil now serves as a terminus and hub for Rio de Janeiro's suburban trains operated by SuperVia.
