Brussels-Luxembourg Station (Dutch: Station Brussel-Luxemburg, French: Gare de Bruxelles-Luxembourg) is a station in the east of Brussels under the site of the European Parliament in Brussels.
The station was first inaugurated in 1854-08-23 but was redesigned with the construction of the European Parliament. It now covers 16,000 square meters and is owned and operated by National Railway Company of Belgium.
Previously above ground, it was redesigned as a subterranean station with the construction of the European Parliament's Espace Léopold complex around it. The same architect consortium responsible for the Parliament, Atlier Espace Léopold, were responsible for the station's redesign. The historic entrance to the old station now forms a public hall for the Parliament.
