Halifax station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Halifax, Massachusetts. It serves the Plymouth/Kingston Line. It is located off Holmes Street (Massachusetts Route 36) in northeastern Halifax. It opened when service was restored on the Old Colony Lines on September 29, 1997.^[1] It has two tracks and two platforms to allow trains to pass at the station (most of the 1997-opened stations have only one track).

The station was quickly the busiest on the line.^[3] The original 281-space lot was expanded by 120–150 spaces around 2000.^[4][5]

The New Haven Railroad's Halifax station, closed with the rest of the Old Colony Division in 1959, was located on the opposite side of Holmes Street.^[6]
