Fort Lauderdale Station is a Tri-Rail station in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida.

The station is located on Southwest 21st Terrace, just south of West Broward Boulevard. Like Hollywood and Deerfield Beach stations, it was originally a former Seaboard Air Line depot that was built in 1926 and was officially reopened by the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority in January 1989.

Amtrak's Silver Meteor and Silver Star stops at this station. Additionally, a park and ride lot is available.
