Waterloo railway station (French: Gare de Waterloo; Dutch: Station Waterloo)[a] is a railway station in Waterloo, Walloon Brabant, Belgium. The station opened on 1 February 1874 and is located on railway line 124. The train services are operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (SNCB/NMBS).[1]

The station is large, with platforms able to accommodate trains much longer than any currently scheduled to operate to (or through) the station. It is fully staffed, with the booking office open seven days a week.
