Inverness railway station serves the city of Inverness, in the Highlands of Scotland. It is the terminus of the Highland Main Line, the Aberdeen–Inverness line (of which the Inverness and Nairn Railway is now a part), the Kyle of Lochalsh line and the Far North Line.

Inverness station was opened on 5 November 1855 as the western terminus of the Inverness and Nairn Railway to designs by the architect, Joseph Mitchell. It originally comprised a single covered passenger platform 200 feet (61 m) long, with three lines of rails: one for arrivals, one for departures and a spare line for carriages.

In 1857, the railway company erected a clock in front of the station facing Academy Street. This clock by Bryson & Sons, Princes Street, Edinburgh, was illuminated at night. In 1865 the station was enlarged. The platform was lengthened to 300 feet (91 m) There were double lines for north and south traffic. The platforms were extended again to 500 feet (150 m) and the platform roofs were extended in 1876 by Murdoch Paterson. The station platforms were lit by electricity for the first time in 1908.

In 1933, as part of an internal reorganisation, the London and North Eastern Railway closed its offices at the station and the staff relocated to Aberdeen. Between 1966 and 1968, under British Rail, the station buildings were replaced; the new building was designed by Thomas Munro and Company.
