Southern Railway Depot, also known as the Batesburg Boy Scout Hut, is a historic train station located at Batesburg-Leesville, Lexington County, South Carolina. It was built about 1900 by the Southern Railway, and is a one-story weatherboarded frame building with a bellcast hip roof. It has patterned metal shingle roofing and sawn wooden brackets supporting the deep eaves. It was relocated from its original location to its present site about 1960 and used as a meeting place for local Boy Scouts.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
