The Joplin Union Depot is a historic railroad station located at Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri. The station was served by a number of railroads, two of which were the Kansas City Southern Railway and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. The station was completed in July 1911. On November 4, 1969, the last train, the Southern Belle visited the station, ending 58 years of constant service.^[2] After train service ended, the station slowly deteriorated.^[2]^[3]

Designed by the Canadian-born architect Louis Curtiss, the station was featured in the January 1912 edition of Popular Mechanics for its use of mining waste in the concrete.^[4]

On March 14, 1973, the station was entered into the National Register of Historic Places. It is currently unoccupied. There are currently^[when?] plans to restore the depot. There have been many ideas for its use, but none have been made certain. This would tie in with the revitalization of downtown.
