The Winnemucca Amtrak station is a train station in Winnemucca, Nevada, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system.

Winnemuca station was originally a stop on the Southern Pacific Railway's Transcontinental Railroad, however after passenger service was acquired by Amtrak in 1971, the station became little more than a bus shelter along the platform. The former SP freight house was neglected and torn down sometime in the early 21st Century.
