Eeklo is a railway station in Eeklo, East Flanders, Belgium. The station opened on 25 June 1861 on the Line 58. The train services are operated by NMBS/SNCB.

The current building was built in the 80's by architect . The railway station is in the city centre.

The station used to not be the terminus with the line continuing via Maldegem to Bruges . The Eeklo - Maldegem section of this line still operates as a museum railway by the Stoomcentrum Maldegem . For practical reasons, this association has constructed a platform on the other side of Oostveldstraat, where their museum trains stop. The connection between that line and the SNCB network is currently only used sporadically. The station has 3 platform tracks and one (decommissioned) dead end track.
