El Paso Union Passenger Depot U.S. National Register of Historic Places Location: El Paso, Texas, US Coordinates: 31°45′26.42″N 106°29′44.38″W Built: 1906 Architect: Daniel Burnham Architectural style: Classical Revival, Other Governing body: City of El Paso, Private NRHP Reference#: 75001970 Added to NRHP: 1971

The El Paso Union Depot, also known as El Paso Union Passenger Depot, was designed by architect Daniel Burnham, who also designed Washington D.C. Union Station. It was built between 1905 and 1906 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

Currently served by Amtrak's Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited. El Paso City buses stop nearby. There has been intermittent talk of resurrecting streetcar service across the border to Ciudad Juarez since the last trolley rolled some thirty years ago.

Of the 19 Texas stations served by Amtrak, El Paso was the eighth-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 30 passengers daily.
