Taverne-Torricella railway station (Italian : Stazione di Taverne-Torricella) is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The station is located on the border between the municipalities of Torricella-Taverne, Lamone and Bedano. The station is on the original line of the Swiss Federal Railways Gotthard railway between Bellinzona and Lugano. This line has been by-passed by the Ceneri Base Tunnel since 2020, and most trains between Lugano and Bellinzona now use the base tunnel rather than passing through Taverne-Torricella station.

The station is also the site of the junction for the freight-only branch to Lugano Vedeggio freight yard. [1]
