Doncaster railway station is a principal stop on the East Coast Main Line, serving the city of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. It is 155 miles (251 km) down the line from London King’s Cross and is situated between Retford and York on the main line. It is managed by London North Eastern Railway. It is the second-busiest station in South Yorkshire (after Sheffield) and the fourth busiest in Yorkshire & the Humber. It is a major passenger interchange between the main line, Cross Country Route and local services running across Northern England. It is also the point for which London North Eastern Railway services branching off to Leeds diverge from the main route, which continues north towards Edinburgh Waverley.

The station was built in 1850, replacing a temporary structure constructed two years earlier and located some 450 yards (410 m) further south. Between 1850 and 1873, the station had two main platforms, with loops to each platform diverting off the main running lines. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1938, where the platform on the town side of the station (the eastern side) was converted into an island platform thereby creating a fourth through running line. The station has had several slight modifications since that date: in 1976, a project to refurbish the passenger facilities was completed at a cost of £125,000 and, in 2006, the new interchange and connection to Frenchgate Centre opened.

In May 2015, construction commenced on a new platform 0 to the north-east of the station adjacent to the Frenchgate Centre on the site of the former cattle dock. It is used by terminating Northern Trains services to Hull, Beverley, Bridlington and Scarborough. This allowed these services to operate independently of the East Coast Main Line
