The Moose Jaw Canadian Pacific Railway Station (located in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada) is a disused station that was designed by Hugh G. Jones and built by the Canadian Pacific Railway from 1920–1922. The station comprises a two story waiting area, four storey office block and six-storey Tyndall stone clock tower.

The station was a stop on the Canadian Pacific Railway service.

The station was also a transfer point to the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad also known as the Soo Line Railroad, which operated from Saint Paul to Portal, North Dakota Soo-Pacific during the summer, ran through to Vancouver via a connection with Canadian Pacific Railway's The Dominion at Moose Jaw.
