Weston station is a former railroad station in Weston, Massachusetts. Located off Church Street in the Weston town center, it was originally operated by the Central Massachusetts Railroad, which constructed it in the board-and-batten style in 1881.[2]

The line was added to the MBTA Commuter Rail system in 1965, but closed on November 26, 1971 when service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated due to poor track conditions and low ridership.[1] The station was located below grade, with a staircase leading from the Church Street overpass to the station. The station building and staircase are still extant as of 2018, but are in disrepair.
