Mols railway station (German: Bahnhof Mols) is a now disfunct railway station in Quarten, in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen. The station was closed on 12 December 2021, because of ongoing construction work on the Bommerstein tunnel and low ridership. Buses continue to stop at the station.[2]

The station used to be an intermediate stop of the former S4 circle line (rerouted in December 2023) on the Ziegelbrücke–Sargans line.
