Anniesland railway station is a railway station that serves the Anniesland suburb of Glasgow, Scotland.

The station is served by First ScotRail as part of the SPT network.

Opened by the North British Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by ScotRail until the privatisation of British Railways.
