Madera Station is a proposed train station to serve Madera, California. It would be located near the intersection of Avenue 12 and Santa Fe Drive.

The Madera Amtrak station opened in 2010 as a replacement for the hundred-year old Storey station. The 2016 California High-Speed Rail Business Plan included yet another relocated Madera station in order to provide greater accessibility and connections between that system and Amtrak San Joaquins services.[1] Funding for the station was provided as part of the Valley Rail project in 2018.[2] Work on station relocation is ongoing as of November 2019, as the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority has entered into negotiations with CAHSR, Madera County, and the city of Madera.[3] As of 2020 the new station is expected to open in 2023.[4]
