The West Barnstable Station, located on Route 149 in West Barnstable, Massachusetts. It is the only station remaining on the old Old Colony Railroad route on Cape Cod that is in use for tourism, and is one of the last two stations remaining on Cape Cod that had been built by the New Haven Railroad Company, the other being the Buzzard's Bay Train Station. It was used for Amtrak's "Cape Codder". The station currently serves as a seasonal stop Saturdays for the Cape Cod Central Railroad.

The station was built in 1911 and is owned by the Town of Barnstable, Massachusetts.
