The Alton Bay Railroad Station is a historic former railroad station on New Hampshire Route 11 in Alton Bay, New Hampshire. It is located on a narrow strip of land between the road and Lake Winnipesaukee. The 1.5 story Shingle style building was built in 1907 by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which provided service from Dover, New Hampshire, and also operated steamships on the lake in the summer months. The station was a major transfer point, even though the station ceased to be the end point for the line. Train service to Alton Bay was ended in 1935, and the town purchased the building two years later. It was converted into a community center in 1957.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
