Dieburg station is located in the town of Dieburg in the German state of Hesse on the Rhine-Main Railway (German: Rhine-Main-Bahn), which runs from Mainz via Darmstadt to Aschaffenburg. The Rodgau Railway from Offenbach am Main now ends here. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station. It is served only by local trains.

The Rhine-Main Railway was built by the Hessian Ludwig Railway (Hessische Ludwigsbahn) and became operational on 1 August 1858. The well-preserved station building was built in the style of romantic neoclassicism between 1861 and 1863. The round-arched windows are significant. The station building is listed as a monument under the Hessian Heritage Act.

The Rodgau Railway was opened on 30 October 1896. Its southern section from Dieburg to Groß-Zimmern and Reinheim was closed to passengers in 1965 and later dismantled. From 14 December 2003, the Rodgau Railway between Offenbach and Rödermark-Ober-Roden became part of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn, but the section between Ober-Roden and Dieburg was not included. As a result, the diesel multiple units running on the Dreieich Railway to Ober-Roden (usually from Dreieich-Buchschlag) now continue to and from Dieburg.

The station was modernised between 2000 and 2005 with the provision of barrier-free access for the disabled. In early 2009, work began on the elimination of the passenger level crossing and the construction of an underpass at Dieburg station.
