Delhi Junction railway station (station code: DLI) is the oldest railway station located in Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, Delhi, India. It is one of the busiest railway stations in the country, with around 250 trains commencing, terminating, or passing through it daily. Established in 1864, it originally served trains arriving from Calcutta.

The current station building, designed in the architectural style of the nearby Red Fort, was constructed by the imperial British government and opened in 1903. Preceding the New Delhi railway station by about 60 years, Delhi Junction has remained a significant hub in India’s railway network. The Chandni Chowk station of the Delhi Metro network is situated nearby, providing seamless connectivity to the city.
