The Illinois Traction System Mackinaw Depot is a former Illinois Terminal Railroad station in Mackinaw, Illinois. The station was built in 1909–10 and designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The station served both freight and passenger trains on the Illinois Traction System and Illinois Terminal Railroad from 1910 to 1953. The Illinois Power and Light Company also used the building as an electrical substation from 1927 until 1955. While the station was one of several properties owned by the railway in the area, along with a major junction at Mackinaw Junction and a number of sidings, the other buildings have since been demolished, leaving the depot as the only surviving landmark from the era of interurban service in the area.
The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1978.
