Birmingham Snow Hill is a railway station and tram terminus in the centre of Birmingham, England. It is one of the three main city-centre stations in Birmingham along with and .
The station was opened in 1852 with a fifteen years period of closure from 1972 until 1987. Snow Hill was once the main station of the Great Western Railway in Birmingham, and at its height it rivalled New Street station, with competitive services to destinations including , and . The electrification of the main line from London to New Street in the 1960s, saw New Street favoured over Snow Hill, which saw most of its services withdrawn in the late 1960s, leading to the station's eventual closure in 1972. Snow Hill station was revived in the mid-1980s, with a new rebuilt station opening in 1987.
Today, most of the trains using Snow Hill are local services on the Snow Hill Lines operated by London Midland, serving , , , , and . The only long distance service into Snow Hill is to operated by Chiltern Railways, ''via'' the Chiltern Main Line. Snow Hill is also the terminus of the Midland Metro light rail line from Wolverhampton (''via'' Wednesbury and West Bromwich), pending the line's extension.
The present Snow Hill station has three platforms for National Rail trains. When it was originally reopened in 1987 it had four, but one was later converted for use by Midland Metro trams. The planned extension of the Midland Metro through Birmingham city centre includes a dedicated embankment for trams alongside the station, and this will allow the fourth platform to be returned to main-line use.
