Dildarnagar (Hindi:दिलदॉरनगर) or Dildarnagar Station or Dildarnagar Junction is a railway station in Dildarnagar, Uttar Pradesh which caters 10,000 passengers to their destinations. It is the busiest railway station in the Ghazipur district.

It is the junction where the Dildarnagar/Tarighat line is separated from Delhi-Howrah Line.Ghazipur is now well supplied with railways. For many years the main line of the East Indian Railway, which crosses the District south of the Ganges, was the only line ; a branch was subsequently made from Dildarnagar to Tari Ghat. Near MoghuL Sarai there is a station named Dildarnagar, where you have to change to a short branch railway and get down at Tarighat, opposite Ghazipur; then you have to cross the Ganga to reach Ghazipur. Three stations in Shahabad District are also situated within easy distances from portions of Ghazipur. A branch State line has been constructed from Dildarnagar to Tari-ghat opposite Ghazipur town, and is worked by the East Indian Railway.
