Čierna nad Tisou railway station (Slovak: Železničná stanica Čierna nad Tisou) is an important border railway station in the town of Čierna nad Tisou, Košice Region, Slovakia.

The first station across the border is Chop. The station is on the Pan-European Corridor VA from Venice in Italy to Kyiv in Ukraine via Bratislava, Žilina, Košice and Uzhhorod.
