Ligerz railway station in the Swiss canton of Bern, built in 1860, is a Heimatstil structure that served as an intermediate stop on the standard gauge Jura Foot line of Swiss Federal Railways. Located adjacent to both the lower station of the Vinifuni Ligerz–Prêles funicular and a Lake Biel passenger ship landing, it formed part of a regional transport hub. The station closed in December 2024 to allow construction of the Ligerz Tunnel, expected to open in 2029, with bus service replacing rail connections between La Neuveville and Twann during the closure. The station building is recognized as a Swiss cultural property of cantonal or local significance.
