Union Station is a historic railway station located at Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland, United States. It was constructed in 1913–14, near the junction where the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Railroad intersected with the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad in the center of Salisbury. Both railroads became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It has a 1 12-story, Flemish bond brick main block covered by a medium-pitched hip roof sheathed in slate, with single-story wings. It was converted from a passenger station into a freight facility around 1958, and since 1986, used for other commercial purposes. The building has characteristics of the Colonial Revival style and was the most elaborate passenger facility to survive on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Union Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
