Hamburger Bahnhof is a former train station in Berlin, Germany on Invalidenstraße in the Berlin-Tiergarten district. Severely damaged during World War II, it has not been used as a station since then. It found a new use in 1987 as the Contemporary Art Museum (German: Museum für Gegenwart) which exhibits modern and contemporary art.

Between 2004 and 2010, the Museum für Gegenwart shows parts of the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection, a major collection of contemporary art.

The station was built according to Friedrich Neuhaus' plans in 1846/47 as the starting point of the Berlin-Hamburg railroad, it is the only still existing terminus building in Berlin from the late classic period, and counts as one of the oldest station buildings in Germany.
