The North Battleford railway station (located in North Battleford, Saskatchewan) was built by the Canadian National Railway in 1956 and used as a passenger terminal. North Battleford no longer receives scheduled passenger rail service (closest stations are now served by Via Rail station to the south in Biggar and Unity), and the station is now used as office space for CNR, and was once the intercity bus terminal. The STS Battlefords Bus Depot is now located at 2691 98th Street and is served by the Saskatchewan Transportation Company and Greyhound Canada.

The building is designed in the International Style with a main entrance located in the tower; passenger facilities, waiting room and washrooms at one end on the ground floor with baggage and parcel service at the other end; office space on upper floors; much of the original interior finishes, (terrazzo, plaster and linoleum) still service. The building was designated a historic railway station in 1995.
