Lake Louise station is a railway station in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. Historically served by Royal Canadian Pacific, it is now a stop for the Rocky Mountaineer and houses a restaurant.[1] The station is located on Canadian Pacific main line, Lower Lake Louise, near the Chateau Lake Louise.[2]

The station was originally built for the Canadian Pacific Railway. The station was declared a heritage railway station by the federal government in 1991.[3] Starting in 1909 it was the first of six mountain stations built by the Canadian Pacific in a rustic log building design, consistent with how the railway marketed the region as a wilderness tourist destination.[4]
