The Park Street Railroad Station is a historic railroad station at 121 Washington Street in Medford, Massachusetts. It currently serves as the home of a community service agency. It is a rectangular structure, built of stone with brick trim, with a hip roof and porte-cochère supported by posts with large curved brackets.[2]

It was built in 1894 by the Boston and Maine Railroad[3] and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, which lists the station at its former address, 20 Magoun Avenue,[1] now at the rear of the repurposed building. The station closed with the end of passenger service on the Medford Branch on October 1, 1957.[4][5]
