Ban Pin railway station is a railway station in Ban Pin Sub-district, Long District, Phrae Province, Thailand. It is a class 2 railway station 563.865 km from Bangkok railway station. It is on the Northern Line of the State Railway of Thailand. The station opened in June 1914, following the Northern Line extension from Huai Mae Ta to Ban Pin.
