Quesnel station in Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada is a railway station. It was most recently used by the Rocky Mountaineer train service on the Rainforest to Gold Rush route until 2026.

The station was originally established for the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, later called BC Rail and the midpoint for the day-liner service from North Vancouver, until that service ended on October 31, 2002.

The two-storey station building was constructed in 1921 as a "Standard No.3" design with a rectangular shape and gable roof.
