Janowice Wielkie () is a railway station in the village of Janowice Wielkie, Karkonosze County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.
History The station was opened by Prussian State Railways as Jannowitz on 15 July 1867, originally part of the historic Silesian Mountain Railway. The station was renamed to Jannowitz (Riesengebirge) for designation in 1914. Janowice Wielkie was electrified by Siemens between 1913–1914, however the first electric trains ran in 1919.
After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways and was renamed to Janowice Wielkie. Overhead wires were dismantled, unelectrifying the station. A long narrow-gauge railway which branched off to a local paper mill, was also dismantled. Janowice Wielkie was re-electrified between 1965–1966.
In 2016, the station was modernised with new platforms and facilities. Between 2023–2024, during the reconstruction of a railway tunnel in Trzcińsko, Janowice Wielkie temporarily served as a terminus for all westbound train services. During the line closure, a replacement bus service operated to Jelenia Góra and Szlarska Poręba Górna.
