Erie Railroad Depot, Erie Railroad Station or Erie Depot was the terminal station for the Erie Railroad in Rochester, New York, designed by George E. Archer, the railroad's architect. The station opened in 1887 between the Genesee River and Exchange Street on the south side of Court St. The station was one of the Erie's few electrified railroad stations, and was one of the first stations to provide electric commuter services in 1907. In 1905 the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station opened directly across the Genesee River from the Erie Depot.

Following the economically difficult years of the Great Depression, passenger service terminated in 1941. The station was demolished in 1947. The area has become a parking lot for the Blue Cross Arena.
