Arna Station (Norwegian: Arna stasjon) is a train station in Bergen, Norway; located in the Arna borough on the east side of Ulriken and between the two tunnels Ulriken Tunnel and Arnanipa. The present station was opened in 1964, when the tunnels were completed. The old station, located north of the new station, is still in use for heritage trains on Gamle Vossebanen.

All passenger trains on the Bergen Line stop at Arna. The most frequent trains are shuttle trains which run between the Bergen Railway Station and Arna, providing the fastest connection between downtown Bergen and Arna. These normally operate each half-hour, or hourly in weekends and evenings.

Accident in March 2024

On March 22 2024, at ca. 19.00 local time, a freight train heading east derailed close to the Arnanipa tunnel opening at Arna station. The locomotive ended up inside the tunnel, while several of the 25 goods wagons crumpled together with an "accordion effect" around the tunnel opening.

Inside the tunnel, a westbound passenger train from Vy carrying 200 passengers, stopped approximately one kilometer from the accident. A work train from Bane NOR pulled the passenger train out of the tunnel to Stanghelle station.
