Athens station is a historic railroad building in Athens, Ohio. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 1983 as the Athens B & O Train Depot. The path of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks went past this site, before they were removed and the tracks area made a car park.

This building is currently under lease to a private concern.

The station was used by Amtrak's Shenandoah, operating between 1976 and 1981.[5]
