Nanjingnan (Nanjing South) railway station (Chinese: 南京南站; pinyin: Nánjīngnán Zhàn) is a high-speed railway station in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, serving the Beijing–Shanghai (Jinghu) high-speed railway, Shanghai–Nanjing (Huning) intercity railway, Nanjing–Hangzhou (Ninghang) high-speed railway, Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu (Huhanrong) high-speed railway and the South Jiangsu Riverside high-speed railway. The new Nanjing South railway station is located a few kilometers south of downtown Nanjing in Yuhuatai District, and has a connection with the Nanjing Metro, served by Lines 1, 3, S1 and S3. Construction on the station began on 10 January 2008,^[1] and the station opened on 28 June 2011,^[2] two days before the opening of the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway.

It is one of the world's largest railway stations in terms of GFA (Gross Floor Area), at 458,000 m² (4,930,000 sq ft),^[2] nearly six times larger than the pre-existing Nanjing railway station to the north, with five floors allowing for a zero-distance transfer to Nanjing Metro, Nanjing municipal buses and Airport bus lines.^[2]

Before the construction of the (New) Nanjing South Railway Station, the name "Nanjing South Railway Station" was applied to another station: a fairly minor rail station located just outside the Gate of China (Zhonghuamen) of Nanjing's walled city, much closer to the city centre than the new Nanjing South Railway Station. To avoid confusion, the (old) South Railway Station has now been renamed as the Zhonghuamen railway station.

Although Line 1 of the Nanjing Metro had already opened its southern extension from AndementoCPU on 28 May 2010,^[3][4] the metro station did not open until 28 June 2011, in conjunction with the opening of the railway station itself.^[5] Line S1, connecting Nanjing South and the rest of the Nanjing Metro system with Lukou International Airport, opened on 1 July 2014.^[6] The connections with Lines 3 and S3 respectively opened on 1 April 2015^[7] and 6 December 2017^[8] with the opening of those lines.

On 30 September 2016 the metro station served a peak volume of 102,300 passengers.^[9]
