Düsseldorf Wehrhahn station sits about a kilometre north of Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof in central Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the Cologne–Duisburg railway and is a Deutsche Bahn category 4 station. The station is also a stop for several bus routes and for the Wehrhahn-line, a new Stadtbahn line with four lines.

The station lies between the districts of Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte, Düsseldorf-Flingern and Düsseldorf-Düsseltal. It sits under a road bridge that carries buses and the Stadtbahn, which starts at Grafenberger Allee.

Connections include Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn lines S1 (every 30 minutes during the day) and S6 (every 20 minutes), and Cologne S-Bahn line S11 (every 20 minutes). Six tram lines and seven bus routes stop at the Wehrhahn stop above the station and at nearby Birkenstraße and Elisabethkirche stops, on the exit to Ackerstraße in Flingern-Nord.

The Wehrhahn line is a 3.5 km tunnel opened in 2016, replacing several surface tram lines. Trams enter the tunnel at Bilk station and run under the city center toward the northeast, emerging near Wehrhahn station. The line, nicknamed Wehrhahn-Linie, includes five new underground stations plus Heinrich-Heine-Allee and serves about 53,000 passengers daily. The new stations on the line include Pempelforter Straße, Schadowstraße, Heinrich-Heine-Allee, Benrather Straße, Graf-Adolf-Platz and Kirchplatz (toward Bilk). The Wehrhahn line carries four Stadtbahn lines: U71, U72, U73 and U83.
