The Milwaukee Airport Railroad Station is a recently-completed Amtrak railway station located near the western edge of General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The station, which opened in February of 2005, is located off of South 6th Street, just south of WIS 119 (also known as the Airport Spur) and West Grange Avenue.

The facility accommodates travelers who use the Hiawatha service between Chicago and Milwaukee, as well as connections with the Empire Builder service to the Twin Cities, Spokane, Washington, Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation website, "the 1,600 square-foot heated facility includes restrooms and a seating area. Covered walkways lead from the drive-up area and the boarding platform."

There is a shuttle from the station to the terminal of Mitchell Airport.
