Morzeszczyn is a PKP railway station in Morzeszczyn (Pomeranian Voivodeship), Poland. It was constructed in 1852 along the route of the Bydgoszcz - Tczew line which connected to the Prussian Eastern Railway.[1]

Although a rail connection to the town of Gniew had initially been rejected, due to the town's maritime transport connections along the Vistula, by the early twentieth century a much needed rail connection was constructed via a branch line from Morzeszczyn.[2] Opened in 1905, branch line 244 previously ran from Morzeszczyn, via to Brodzkie Młyny and Brody Pomorskie, to Gniew.[3] The last passenger service on line 244 ran to Morzeszczyn on 10 July 1989, with freight services ending in 1992.[4]
