Katrineholm railway station is located in the town of Katrineholm, Sweden, at the Western Main Line and the endpoint of the Southern Main Line.

[5] In 1866, the first part of the Southern Main Line from Katrineholm to Norrköping, later towards Malmö, was put into operation.

[6] The station building is originally from 1862 but has been added to a few times, especially 1915.

The present town location was countryside before the railway construction.

[8][9] The name Katrineholm comes from a nearby major farm [sv] with this name located 2 km (1+1⁄2 miles) northwest of the railway station.
