Porsgrunn Station is a railway station serving Porsgrunn, Norway. It serves regional trains on Vestfoldbanen and local trains on Bratsbergbanen, all operated by Norges Statsbaner. The station was built as part of Vestfoldbanen, then know as Jarlsbergbanen and opened on November 24, 1882. In 1917 it became a station along Bratsbergbanen. The original station building was drawn by Balthazar Lange, and inspired by the concurrent style on Østfoldbanen. The current station building, in red brick, was built in the 1960s. The station has been unmanned since 2002 and is located beside the bus terminal.
