The Minot Amtrak station is a train station in Minot, North Dakota served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. The station is located at the site of the former Great Northern Railway station, adjacent to the Minot Public Library, and quite close to Minot's City Hall.

Minot is a service stop for Amtrak's daily Empire Builder which serves six other cities in North Dakota. This is the only scheduled service stop between Minneapolis, Minnesota and Havre, Montana. The Minot station features the most boardings and detrainings of any Amtrak station in the state, with an average of about 110 passengers boarding or detraining at the station each day in FY2010.[2]

The station was built in 1905 by the Great Northern Railway. It originally featured a brick exterior and a gabled roof. In 1975, the station was modernized; a stucco exterior and a flat roofline drastically altered the appearance of the depot. According to Great American Stations, the Amtrak Depot Restoration Committee used federal, state, and city funds to renovate the station in recent years. In 2008, the brick exterior and gabled roof were restored, and future renovation of the interior is planned.

The platform, tracks, and station building are all owned by BNSF Railway.
