Victory Station is a Trinity Railway Express commuter rail station located along the Stemmons Corridor of Dallas, Texas (USA) near the city's downtown and in Uptown. It opened in 2001 in the Victory Park development as a temporary platform shortly after the opening of the American Airlines Center and is a station on the TRE commuter rail line, serving the American Airlines Center only on dates when there are events.

The station's location was the subject of much debate during the planning and construction of the American Airlines Center. DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) originally wanted to extend light rail service up Houston Street, with a station between the proposed center and nearby upscale residential and office areas. But the Dallas City Council, backed by developer Tom Hicks and his Victory Park development partners, forced DART to locate Victory Station on the other side of the center, near the existing freight rail line and Interstate 35E.

On 2 October 2003, the temporary platform was replaced by a permanent platform for the Trinity Railway Express and a future expansion of DART's light rail system (the future Orange and Green Lines). Beginning on 13 November 2004, DART began offering special light rail service on the DART R|style=nl and DART B|style=nl lines to Victory Station during special events. DART R|style=nl and DART B|style=nl line light rail trains serving Victory Station display "DART" in their destination signs.
