Lake Louise railway station in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, is a railway station used by the Royal Canadian Pacific train service. The building now houses a restaurant^[1] and also serves as a stop for the Rocky Mountaineer. The station is located on Canadian Pacific main line, Lower Lake Louise, near the Chateau Lake Louise.^[2]

The station was originally built for the Canadian Pacific Railway. The station was declared a heritage railway station by the federal government in 1991.^[3] Starting in 1909 it was the first of six mountain stations built by the Canadian Pacific in a rustic log building design, consistent with how the railway marketed the region as a wilderness tourist destination.^[4]
