Stevenage railway station serves the town of Stevenage in Hertfordshire, England. The station is around 27.6 miles (44.4 km) north of London King’s Cross on the East Coast Main Line. The station lies just to the north of Langley junction, a grade separated junction where the Hertford Loop Line diverges from the East Coast Main Line; the two lines re-converge at Alexandra Palace in London’s northern suburbs.

The present station, built by British Rail, was opened for services on 23 July 1973. It was officially opened on 26 September 1973 by Shirley Williams, then MP for Stevenage; this replaced the previous station.

The original Stevenage railway station was built in 1850 by the Great Northern Railway, despite the apparent hostility towards the railway being built there at that time due to the inevitable decline it would cause to local coach businesses. In 1946, Stevenage became one of the first New Towns, which resulted in a new town centre. In 1973, the station was relocated 1.47 km south, within walking distance of the new town centre. As built, the new station had two island platforms, serving four through tracks.

In December 2013, the previous train operator, First Capital Connect, started refurbishing the station completely, introducing passenger lifts between platform and street level, and refurbishing the concourse area with retail units. The works were due to be completed by April 2014, but were delayed. After Great Northern took over the franchise in September 2014, these works were then completed.
