Raton is an active railroad station in the city of Raton, Colfax County, New Mexico, United States. Located at 201 South First Street, the station serves Amtrak's Southwest Chief. Connections are also available to Denver, Colorado via Amtrak Thruway bus service. The station is staffed during the summer season when tourism for the Philmont Scout Ranch and the National Rifle Association (NRA) Whittington Center is at its peak. During off-seasons, it is open at all train times, maintained by a caretaker. Passengers with layovers there often visit the non-profit Old Pass Gallery, located on the station grounds in the restored 1910 Railway Express Agency building. The station also includes a former freight depot.

Railroad service through the community of Otero, New Mexico Territory began on July 4, 1879, when service opened to Las Vegas on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. The railroad began construction of a new station in May 1903. Designed in a Mission Revival architectural style, the new depot opened on January 4, 1904.
