Biryulyovo-Tovarnaya (Template:Lang-ru, translated as Biryulyovo Cargo Station) is a railway station located in the Biryulyovo Zapadnoye and Biryulyovo Vostochnoye Districts of Moscow, Russia. The station serves suburban traffic of the Paveletsky suburban direction of Moscow Railway. The station is operated by the Moscow Railway.

The station was opened in 1900 when the railway connecting Moscow and Pavelets was built to connect Moscow to Ryazan-Ural Railway. Initially, the station was named Zagorye according to the name of the closest village. Subsequently it was renamed to Biryulyovo according to another village, located further away, and the name was transferred to the settlement which was built to serve the station. In the 1910s, the station of Biryulyovo was separated into a cargo station (Biryulyovo-Tovarnaya) and a passenger station (Biryulyovo-Passazhirskaya).[1]
