Reina Elisenda is a railway station on the Barcelona–Vallès Line, in Sarrià, in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona. It is the northern terminus and only station of a branch line coming from Sarrià station. A shuttle service, designated L12, links the two stations at four-minute intervals during rush hours.

The station was opened in 1976 and is situated under Passeig de la Reina Elisenda de Montcada. It can be accessed either from Avinguda de J.V. Foix or Carrer de la Duquessa d'Orleans. At night, it serves as the lines depot.[1]

There are posters in the lobby of the station explaining the history of several of the antique trains used by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC).
