The Lehigh Valley Terminal was a railroad station in downtown Buffalo, New York. The Lehigh Valley Railroad opened it 1916, replacing an older station one block east at Scott and Washington streets. The station handled the Lehigh Valley's passenger traffic in Buffalo until 1955, when it was demolished to make room for the New York State Thruway. The Lehigh Valley moved its operations to a smaller station outside the downtown area. The terminal also hosted the Erie Railroad's passenger trains from 1935 until 1951, when that railroad ceased serving Buffalo.
