Ardmore station is an Amtrak train station in Ardmore, Oklahoma, United States, served by the daily Heartland Flyer. Most of the depot is used as an event center, but a waiting room in the back is open to passengers thirty minutes before the train is scheduled to arrive.

The station was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1917, replacing a 1909-built station which had been destroyed by an explosion on September 27, 1915.[3] The Rock Island Railroad also used the depot, and their logo is still visible on the opposite side from the tracks.
