Berkeley Springs Train Depot is a historic railway depot located at Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia. It was built in 1915 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It is a one story, rectangular red brick building with a bell-cast, red tile roof and measures approximately 80 feet long by 20 feet wide. It features Mission Revival style details. It ceased use as a passenger depot in 1935.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1] It is located within the Town of Bath Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. In 2011, the depot was issued a Federal Highway Administration Transportation Enhancement grant to refurbish the distinctive tile roof, restore the interior to its 1915-era look and rehabilitate some of the surrounding land.[3]
