Glostrup station is a suburban rail and former main line railway station serving the railway town/suburb of Glostrup west of Copenhagen, Denmark.^[1] It is located close to the historical, administrative and commercial centre of Glostrup Municipality, but also serves Brøndbyvester in Brøndby Municipality, the boundary of which comes within a few hundred metres from the station. The station is connected to the nearby Glostrup Shopping Center via an underground walkway, the same walkway which is used to access the platforms.

Glostrup station is located on the Høje Taastrup radial of Copenhagen's S-train network, a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen.^[3] It is served regularly by trains on the B-line which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 20 minutes.^[1] In front of the station is a major bus terminal from which local and express buses go in many directions.

The station opened in 1847 with the opening of the railway line from Copenhagen to Roskilde, and has been served by the S-train network since 1953.^[6] Its second and current station building was built in 1918 to designs by the Danish architect Heinrich Wenck (1851–1936).^[4]

Glostup station is one of the few remaining stations in Copenhagen that is an active rail freight destination. Sidings to industries west, south, and east of the station emerge from a small freight yard south of the long-distance tracks.
