Dunhuang Railway Station (Chinese: 敦煌站) is 4.5 kilometers from the downtown area of Dunhuang, between the existing national highway and the Dunhuang Railway Line on the north side. It faces the road leading to Mogao Grottoes in the south. The station is under the jurisdiction of China Railway's Lanzhou Bureau Group.

The station was built in 2006 and designed to reflect the architecture of desert caravanserai - the towers, the inclined walls and large roofs of the city walls as well as its Han and Tang Dynasty frescoes.[2] The station has a built area of 10,865 square meters, with two platforms to accommodate China Railways's bullet trains, eight arrival and departure gates, and a capacity for 8,000 passengers.[3][4]

In December 2019 a new 671 km Dunhuang – Golmud rail line was completed, providing a new connection between the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Tibet.[5]
