The Alliance Amtrak station is an Amtrak station in Alliance, Ohio, United States. Located at 820 East Main Street, the station consists of an uncovered platform on the south side of the east-west tracks, with a small bus stop-style shelter and a small parking lot nearby.

Alliance is served by the Capitol Limited route. Because the station consists of only one platform, westbound trains switch to the usual eastbound tracks to pass the station. Amtrak is the only way, other than by car or SARTA bus from elsewhere in Stark County, that one can travel to Alliance, the home of Mount Union College, as the city has neither commercial bus nor airline service.
