The Karis railway station (Swedish: Karis järnvägsstation, Finnish: Karjaan rautatieasema) is a railway station in the town of Raseborg in the Uusimaa region, Finland. The station is located along the track between Helsinki and Turku, about 87 km west from Helsinki Central railway station and serves as a connection point between three different tracks: the main track between Helsinki and Turku, a branch track to the city of Hanko, and a former privately owned track between Karis and Hyvinkää, currently largely disused.

Nearly all long-distance trains between Helsinki and Turku stop at the Karis railway station. The station is also the northern terminus of Karis-Hanko regional trains (railbuses) and used to be the westernmost terminus of Helsinki commuter rail (Y-line) in 2002–2016, although the station was served by one Y-line commuter train service to Helsinki at 5.44 in the morning (HL 8570) and an L-line service from Helsinki arriving at 0.39 in the morning (HL 8525) until the municipality stopped purchasing them from HSL in June 2021, resulting in their withdrawal. The station also serves cargo traffic.
