Neerpelt station is a railway station at the junction of railway lines 18 and 19 in the Neerpelt sub-municipality of the Belgian municipality of Pelt. Railway line 18 has now been broken up and Neerpelt was the terminus of the passenger trains on the Antwerp-Neerpelt connection. However, since April 6, 2014, the station in Hamont has been reopened and the train continues to that station.

When the railway line from Hasselt to Eindhoven opened in 1866, a small station was built. When the Iron Rhine was constructed in 1879, the Grand Central Belge company built the current station building. The old station was demolished in 1883 to make way for the first extension of the new building. In 1901, a floor was added to the station master's living area and the platform roof was installed.

Work was carried out on and around the station in 2013 and 2014; the tracks and platforms were renovated and the level crossing was replaced by a new access road and pedestrian tunnel. The inauguration took place on February 21, 2015.
