Modi'in–Center railway station (Hebrew: תחנת הרכבת מודיעין – מרכז, Tahanat HaRakevet Modi'in Merkaz) is an Israel Railways passenger terminal and one of two stations serving Modi'in (the other being Paatei Modi'in). It is the terminus of the Nahariya-Modi'in line, with service to the airport, Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Akko. It became operational on April 1, 2008. On March 31, 2022, an electric link to Jerusalem was established.

Modi'in Central is the first rail station in Israel that is completely underground. Covering an area of approximately 7,000 square meters (75,000 sq ft),[2] it was the largest railway station in Israel until the opening of the Jerusalem–Yitzhak Navon railway station, which is eight times larger.
