The Sandusky Amtrak station is an Amtrak station in Sandusky, Ohio. Located at 1200 North Depot Street, the station consists of an uncovered platform on the north side of the east-west tracks, a small parking lot, and two buildings. One of the buildings is boarded up, while the other has a small waiting room for Amtrak passengers, as well as offices for the Sandusky Transit System and North Central EMS.

Sandusky Station was originally built in 1892 by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, and today is served by the Capitol Limited and Lake Shore Limited routes, both of which pass through Sandusky in the middle of the night. Because the station consists of only one platform, eastbound trains switch to the usual westbound tracks to pass the station.

In 1975, the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
