Podanur Junction (also known as Pothanur Junction, code: PTJ) is a railway station located in Podanur, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. It was the first railway station in the Coimbatore district but has lost its significance since the completion of the Coimbatore Junction.[1][2]

The station has three platforms and a junction, joining lines going in four different routes: towards Coimbatore Junction, towards Irugur, towards Pollachi and towards Palakkad. This station handles long distance trains and local trains.[3][4] The station is operated by the Southern Railway zone of the Indian Railways and comes under the Salem railway division. It is one of the important railway stations in Coimbatore with trains to any part of India and also one of the A graded stations in the Southern Railway.[5] After Podanur - Dindigul gauge conversion, trains will be operated from Podanur Junction, to serve as a satellite railway station for Coimbatore city Junction.[6]
