Cambria Freight Station, also known as Christiansburg Depot, is a historic freight station located at Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. It was built in 1868-1869, and is a wood-framed, one-story, U-shaped structure with a shallow hipped roof and deeply overhanging eaves in the Italianate style. A portion of the center section rises to form a tower-like second-story room, covered with an even shallower hipped roof. A long, one-story freight section extending eastward from the rear. The building also served as a passenger station, until a new passenger station was built nearby on 1906. The building houses a local history museum known as the Cambria Depot Museum.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is located in the Cambria Historic District.
