Granby is a train station in Granby, Colorado. It is served by Amtrak's California Zephyr train. Despite its antiquated appearance and structure (the station is made of wood), the station was built in 1987.

Of the nine Colorado stations served by Amtrak, Granby was the seventh busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 10 passengers daily.[2]

Granby is proposed as a station to use for access of the Rocky Mountain National Park by train.[3] However while the train ride (from the Denver side) provides impressive views the station itself lies a good sixteen miles from the park without public transportation connections.
