Bad Bentheim is a railway station^[5] located in Bad Bentheim, Germany. The station was opened on 18 October 1865 and is located on the Almelo - Salzbergen railway. The train services are operated by Deutsche Bahn with NS International, Bentheimer Eisenbahn and the WestfalenBahn.

The station is a border station between Germany and the Netherlands. Dutch and German locomotives used to change here as the voltage is different in the countries. From December 2023, the intercity services are pulled using a Siemens Vectron locomotive, eliminating the need for a locomotive change. From Bad Bentheim, passengers can travel on the international service to Amsterdam. Passengers can also reach cities such as Osnabrück, Hannover and Berlin.

To the east of the station is a shunting area for the Bentheimer Eisenbahn which is a freight railway to Nordhorn and Coevorden.
