Brunswick Street railway station is a railway station of the QR Citytrain rail network of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. Located beneath the Valley Metro complex, it is the station for Fortitude Valley, and Brisbane's Chinatown. With four platforms, the station is located in Zone 1 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.

Pedestrian access to Brunswick Street is via two thoroughfares near the corner of Brunswick and Wickham Streets and a pedestrian overpass connecting to McWhirters. Nearby locations include Brisbane's Chinatown, the Brunswick Street Mall, and the Story Bridge.

The station is currently being refurbished, with escalators, elevators, new lighting, updated passenger information displays and upgraded flooring to be provided. Platforms 3 and 4 have been completed, with platforms 1 and 2 temporarily closed. Many services on weekdays now skip Brunswick Street as a result. Works are expected to be complete by December 2008.
