Fitzwater Station was a stop on the anti-slavery Underground Railroad. Located in Port Providence, Pennsylvania, United States, it is now a restaurant and bar. "The Fitz" overlooks the Schuylkill Canal.

The building is named for Abel Fitzwater, a notable early 19th century local and owner of the former farmland where the Fitzwater Station and Port Providence sit.
