St. Marys Junction station was a Grand Trunk Railway station located one kilometre north of St. Marys, Ontario. It operated as a train station from 1858 until 1941, and remained in service for non-passenger functions until the 1970s. It is now home to a microbrewery.

The railway junction itself no longer exists as the former Grand Trunk railway directly from St. Marys to Sarnia has been abandoned. All trains from St. Marys to Sarnia travel instead along the route to London, and the former Great Western Railway from London to Sarnia. A water tower on opposite side of tracks was later removed. The one sided platform was removed and grassed over.

The station was initially fenced off with doors and windows boarded up. Windows and doors have since been restored with only track side fenced off. Since December 2020 the station is home to an independent micro brewery Broken Rail Brewing.[1] Minimum changes were made to exterior with upgrades to interior to support the functioning brewing operations.
