Lygten Station (København L) is the former terminus of the private Copenhagen–Slangerup Railway which opened on 19 April 1906, connecting Copenhagen to the small town of Slangerup to the northwest of the city.

The National Romantic station building was designed by Heinrich Wenck, head architect of the Danish State Railways, and got its name from Lygteåen, a local stream.

With its location in open surroundings on the outskirts of Nørrebro, the station was quite a bit from the city center, but it was supposed to be temporary until the exact routing of the various new railways near Copenhagen that were in planning at the time had been finalized.

Nørrebro Bycenter, a minor shopping centre, was later built at the site on the former tracks and platforms.

The activities include concerts, stand-up comedy, film screenings, art exhibitions and literary events.
