Red Wing is a train station in Red Wing, Minnesota served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system.

A plaque on the building states, "The construction of this building began in 1904 following an agreement in which the city of Red Wing provided trackage concessions and the railroad agreed to construct this depot and donate money toward construction of Levee Park. This building was designed by the railroad company architect, J.M. Nettenstrom, in a style influenced by the neoclassical revival of the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition." The building is located in the Red Wing Mall Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
