The Santa Fe Passenger Depot is a railroad station located in Fresno, California. It is currently used by Amtrak, the national passenger railroad system, for its San Joaquin passenger train service.

The station was designed by William Benson Storey for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and is very similar to the Stockton – San Joaquin Street Station. It has 5,400 sq ft (500 m2) for passenger service and another 12,300 sq ft (1,140 m2) for leasing.

The station was once the Santa Fe's Valley Division Headquarters, and was expanded or renovated nine times between 1908 and 1985, but was restored by the city to its original appearance in 2005 for US$6 million.

Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, Fresno was the twelfth-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 950 passengers daily.[3]
