The Mobile Amtrak station was a train station in Mobile, Alabama, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. Service was suspended after Hurricane Katrina, which flooded the station. In 2006, CSX sold the property to a developer, who razed the station in 2007. The site plan provides for a future station nearby.
The station was built by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in 1956, replacing an earlier station on the same site. Besides the Sunset Limited, the station once served as the southern terminus of Amtrak's Gulf Breeze train from 1989 to 1994.
