Okahandja Railway Station is a railway station serving the town of Okahandja in Namibia. It is part of the TransNamib Railway.

Okahandja is situated on the Windhoek—Swakopmund line, built in 1902 during Imperial Germany's colonial rule of German South West Africa. In 1914 this line was extended to Walvis Bay.^[1]
