Jerusalem–Malha railway station (Hebrew:תחנת הרכבת ירושלים – מלחה,Tahanat HaRakevet Yerushalayim–Malha;Arabic:محطة أورشليم – المالحة) was one of twoIsrael Railways termini inJerusalem, the other beingJerusalem–Yitzhak Navon railway station. The station is located in the southern neighborhood ofMalha, across from theJerusalem Shopping Mall,Pais Arena andTeddy Stadium.

As it is much less centrally located than Navon station, and the historicJaffa–Jerusalem railway provides a much slower journey to the Tel Aviv area than the modernTel Aviv–Jerusalem railway, ridership is very low. 115,118 passengers boarded or disembarked at the station in 2019, ahead of only the adjacentBiblical Zoo railway station andDimona railway station.

Service to the station has been suspended entirely since March 2020 due to poor usage combined with the economic impacts of theCOVID-19 pandemic, and it is unclear if or when it will resume.^[2]

Jerusalem–Malha is the currentterminus of theJaffa–Jerusalem railway. The other Jerusalem station on this line is theBiblical Zoo station which is served by limited stops. Jerusalem Malha was opened on April 9, 2005, when the historic Jaffa–Jerusalem railway was restored after being out of service for six years. The line underwent a major renovation, including the laying of new tracks. Jerusalem Malha replaced the historicJerusalem railway station near theOld City as the terminus of the line, which was not restored due to the objections of area residents overtrain noise. The at grade tracks from Malha to Khan have been turned into a mixed use path, called the Park HaMesila, orTrain Track Park.

Since February 5, 2006, intercity bus routes toGush Etzion and theHebron area stop at Malha station on their way from theJerusalem Central Bus Station to their destination viaBegin Boulevard.

There are conceptual plans to extend the newTel Aviv–Jerusalem railway fromJerusalem–Yitzhak Navon to Jerusalem–Malha along an underground route beneath Jerusalem; for that reason, Malha station was built as a thorough station at an elevation relative to sea level which is equal to that of Jerusalem–Navon's underground tracks and platforms. Detailed plans unveiled in November 2021^[3] establish the precise course of the extension, which will also pass via anew underground station in central Jerusalem and anotherunderneath the historic Jerusalem-Khan train station.
