Pleasant View is a closed commuter rail station in Pleasant View, Utah, formerly served by the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) FrontRunner train.

Located approximately 6 miles north of the Ogden station, Pleasant View was the northernmost station along the FrontRunner line prior to its closure on August 10, 2018, when service north of Ogden was suspended. It was also the least-used station on FrontRunner, with few daily riders.[2] The cost of implementing federally-mandated positive train control for the section of track north of Ogden, which is owned by the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), necessitated the closure.[3]
