The Machias Railroad Station is a historic railroad station near the junction of Court and Main Streets (US Routes 1A and 1, respectively) in Machias, Maine. Built in 1898, it is one of five surviving stations built by the ambitious but unsuccessful Washington County Railroad. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 1992. The station is in 2015 set to be restored for use as a visitor center and community meeting space.

The building is now owned by the town, which granted a $1 lease to the local chamber of commerce. The chamber in 2015 embarked on a fundraising campaign to complete restoration of the interior for use as a visitors center and meeting space.
