"Vesijärven rautatieasema on Lahden satamassa (ent. Vesijärven satama) sijainnut entinen leveäraiteinen rautatieasema. Ensimmäinen veturi kävi asemalla elokuussa 1869 ja asema otettiin virallisesti käyttöön 1. marraskuuta 1869 Pietarin radan Riihimäki–Lahti-osuuden valmistumisen yhteydessä. Alun perin 4:n luokan asemaksi rakennettua Vesijärveä laajennettiin 1900-luvun alussa, jolloin se korotettiin 3:n luokan asemaksi.
Vesijärven satama oli aikanaan osa hyvin tärkeää tavara- ja matkustusreittiä, joka kulki Päijänteeltä Vääksyn kanavaa, Vesijärveä ja rautateitä pitkin Suomenlahdelle. Läpikulkupaikaksi muodostunut pieni Lahden kylä kasvoi vuosien varrella ensin kauppalaksi ja logistiikan keskukseksi, sekä lopulta Lahden kaupungiksi.
Vuonna 1905 kaupunkioikeudet saanut Lahden kasvu aiheutti sen laajenemista nykyiselle paikalleen, jota palvelemaan rakennettiin vuonna 1935 nykyinen Lahden rautatieasema. Vesikuljetusten siirryttyä vuosien saatossa vähitellen maanteille ja rautateille, Vesijärven aseman kautta kulkenut liikenne ensin väheni ja loppui kokonaan 1980-luvulla. Käyttämättä jäänyt rata on sittemmin purettu Salpausselän seisakkeelle asti. Nykyään Vesijärven entinen rautatieasema toimii kahvilana nykyisen Lahden sataman alueella.
Vesijärven satamassa sijaitsi myös Niemen rautatieasema, joka oli Loviisan–Vesijärven rautatien kapearaiteisen 750 mm:n raideleveydelle rakennetun radan pohjoinen pääteasema.
