火车总站（德语：Hauptbahnhof，英语意译为Main Station）是德语区内许多城市对全城最重要的铁路客运站所使用的名称，有时可用以区别城中其他的主要铁路车站。火车总站在德国及奥地利缩写为HBF，在瑞士则缩写为HB，也可以用以表述一座货运站、编组站或者招呼站，例如格费尔斯贝尔格火车总站。

在欧洲的一些非德语国家，例如丹麦、波兰和捷克，也使用意思类似的词汇对特定的车站进行表述，而在世界上的其它国家，则更常以「中央车站」来称呼城市中最主要的车站。在德语中，中央车站（Centralbahnhof）一词曾在过去用来命名部份火车站，如今则较少使用。

Central station is a common name for a railway station, for example Central railway station (London) and Melbourne Central. As well as being used for centrally located stations, such as Exeter Central, Cardiff Central or the former Croydon Central, "Central" also appears in names of stations that were once served by railway companies which used Central as part of their name—for example Leicester Central railway station was owned by the Great Central Railway and Central Station (Chicago) was owned by the Illinois Central Railroad.
