Wellesley Square is a passenger rail station on MBTA Commuter Rail's Framingham/Worcester Line. It is officially located at 1 Grove Street in Wellesley, Massachusetts, which is north of the west end of the MA 16-135 multiplex and west of the historic Wellesley Town Hall. Parking is available on both sides of the tracks, and the north-side parking lot is available on Linden Street, across the Crest Road bridge.

The original station house was designed by H. H. Richardson's successors Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge in 1889 for the Boston & Albany Railroad. Until 1975 it also served as an Amtrak station. It has been moved and is located on the north side of the tracks about half a mile east of the modern station. It serves as a restaurant.
