Opened 3 February 1885

Spikkestad Station (Norwegian: Spikkestad stasjon) is a railway station located at Spikkestad in Røyken, Norway and the terminus of the Spikkestad Line. The station was opened as part of Drammen Line on 3 February 1885, but in 1973 the new Lieråsen Tunnel opened through Lieråsen, and the old part of the Drammen Line was transformed to a commuter train line with Spikkestad as the western terminus.

The station is served by commuter trains to Oslo Central Station and onward to Moss. Spikkestad is primarily a residential area.
