Elisenberg Station (Elisenberg stasjon) is an unfinished railway station within the Oslo Tunnel on the Drammen Line in Oslo, Norway. The ghost station was partially built during the construction of the tunnel between 1971 and 1980, but has never been taken into use. It is located under Balchens gate, near the tram stop with the same name, between Nationaltheatret Station and Skøyen Station, at Elisenberg in Frogner. A 220 m long center platform and part of the access way has been built, but never completed. While the station initially was not taken into use because of lack of funds to complete it, it is now unlikely that it will ever be completed, as the need for a station has disappeared and an opening would involve large extra investments.
