Zürich Wipkingen railway station (German: Bahnhof Zürich Wipkingen) is a railway station in the Wipkingen quarter of the Swiss city of Zürich. It is served by line S24 of the Zürich S-Bahn.^[1][2]

The station lies on the oldest of several rail connections from the center to the northern part of the city. InterCity, EuroCity or RegioExpress trains from the north or northeast who have Zürich Hauptbahnhof as their terminus still use this line. Immediately at the northern end of the station, the Wipkingen Tunnel starts and connects it to Zürich Oerlikon.^[2]

Prior to the opening of the Weinberg Tunnel on 14 June 2014, this station was served by Zürich S-Bahn lines S2, S8 and S14. These lines all now run via the new tunnel route, and the half-hourly S24 was extended from Hauptbahnhof further north in order to ensure that Wipkingen did not lose service.^[3]
