The Butterworth railway station is a Malaysian railway station located at and named after the town of Butterworth, Penang.

The station is served by the KTM ETS and the KTM Komuter Northern Sector trains. It previously served as the southern end of the International Express from Bangkok, Thailand, which now ends at Padang Besar.[1]

The station is located near to, and linked via covered pedestrian walkways, the Penang Sentral and the Sultan Abdul Hamid Ferry Terminal for ferries to Penang Island.

The end of the line at this station is "Chainage Zero", and as such, regarded as the starting point of the KTM West Coast Line to Woodlands, Singapore. The northern portion of the line to Padang Besar, where the Malaysian railway network is connected to the State Railway of Thailand network, is measured from the rail junction at Bukit Mertajam.
