Alausí railway station is in the town of Alausí, Chimborazo Province, Ecuador. It sits on the country's only railway line, which connects Quito in the north with Durán near Guayaquil in the south. The line reached Alausí on 8 September 1902, after the Nariz del Diablo pass near the town opened in 1901.

The station was the starting point for tourist trains that travel south to Sibambe via the Nariz del Diablo, a famous steep section. From 2013 to 2020, it was also part of the main Quito–Guayaquil route operated by Empresa de Ferrocarriles Ecuatorianos.

Alausí station was rebuilt on 5 July 2025.
