Bozeman Depot is a former train station in Bozeman, Montana, opened in 1883 by the Northern Pacific Railway. The current brick station house was built in 1892 and expanded in 1924.

Passenger rail service to Bozeman ended in 1979 when budget cuts forced Amtrak to discontinue the North Coast Hiawatha. Since then, various proposals have been raised for restoration of train service or adaptive reuse of the depot building.

The depot was also the northern terminus of the city's electric streetcar system, the Bozeman Street Railway, which existed from 1892 to 1921.
