Dyer station is an Amtrak station in Dyer, Indiana, served by the Cardinal route.

Dyer Station was merely a little shelter with seats before a renovation in 2014, which demolished the "Amshack" shelter built in 1986 and constructed a larger station house which was accessible, and repaved the platform and parking lot.[2] It is located north of an at-grade crossing of two railroad lines; CSX (formerly the Monon Railroad) and the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern.[3] The original depot stood at the diamond junction itself.[4]
