'''Birni N'Gaouré''' (or '''Birnin Gaouré''') is a town located in the [[Dosso Region]] in southwest [[Niger]].  A town of over ten thousand, it is the departmental seat of [[Boboye Department]], and is the main town of the fertile farming region in which it is located.  "Birni", in the name of the town, derives from the [[Hausa language]] word for a walled city.
The town has a [[Railway stations in Niger|station]] on the [[Railway stations in Niger|Niamey - Dosso railway line]]. Built between 2014 and 2016 the objective of this line was to connect Niger to the rail network in [[Benin]] and thus to the coast. But the connection to Benin never materialized. The rail now ends in [[Dosso, Niger|Dosso]] and no train has ever stopped at the Birni N'Gaouré station.
