Bayview Station is a transitway and O-Train station in Ottawa, Ontario. The bus stop is at the eastern end of Scott Street when it becomes Albert Street. The O-Train station, the northern terminus of the current line, is located on a stub-end track branching off from the railway line, immediately under the Wellington Street and transitway overpasses. Paved asphalt footpaths connect the two stops on opposite sides of the transitway and the train platform.

From the higher points of the station, one can just see the Parliament buildings across the LeBreton Flats.

The station is named for nearby Bayview Road. By 2018, the East-West Transitway between Tunney's Pasture and Blair Station will be converted to light-rail transit, making Bayview an important rapid transit transfer point. It will also be a catalyst for large redevelopment including condos, hotels and the city's tallest office tower at 801 Albert. Plans also exist for converting a 1940's warehouse into a film studio and build an attached 15 storey "innovation hub". The station is close to Tom Brown Arena
