The Porto–Trindade Railway Station was a major railway station in the Portuguese city of Porto. It served as the city terminus for a network of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge railways that served the area to the north of the city, including lines stretching as far as Matosinhos, Póvoa de Varzim, Vila Nova de Famalicão and Guimarães. It was opened on 30 October 1938 and closed on 28 April 2001. The station site is now occupied by the Trindade station of the Porto Metro, which has also replaced some of the rail services operated from the former station.
