The Forestville Passenger Station is a historic railroad station at 171 Central Street in Forestville, a village of Bristol, Connecticut. It is a small single-story wood frame structure, with a bracketed cornice and a hipped roof topped by a louvered cupola with finial. The station was built in 1881 by the New York and New England Railroad on a railroad line originally owned by the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad. It was a key element of the prosperity of the village, benefiting from many daily passenger rail stops. Service to the area ended in 1960.
The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 19, 1978.
