Köseköy railway station (Turkish: Köseköy istasyonu) is a railway station in Kartepe, Turkey, in the İzmit metropolitan area. TCDD Taşımacılık operates four daily regional trains between Istanbul and Adapazarı that stop at the station.[1] The station was originally built in 1975 by the Turkish State Railways, when the Istanbul-Ankara railway was realigned to bypass İzmit's city center.[2] The Köseköy Logistics Center is located adjacent to the station and is an important freight yard on the railway.[3]

Köseköy station was closed down on 1 February 2012 due to construction of the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed railway.[4] The station was reopened in 2018.
