Federico Lacroze railway station (Spanish: Estación Federico Lacroze) is a passenger railway station in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The station is located in the city's outlying barrio (neighbourhood) of Chacarita in a predominantly residential area. It is just a short distance north of the Cementerio de la Chacarita,^[1] the city's largest cemetery. The station is named after Federico Lacroze, a prominent 19th century Argentine railway and transport pioneer who obtained the concession for building the Buenos Aires Central Railway in 1884. When the Argentine railway network was nationalised in 1948 the station became the Buenos Aires terminus for the lines that became part of the General Urquiza Railway (FCGU).

Federico Lacroze station is accessible from the B line of the Buenos Aires Underground system from the station there and by numerous local public bus services.^[2] In 2014, the station underwent restoration works in its main hall and platforms.^[3]
