Great Northern Passenger Station is a former railway station in Bellingham, Washington, United States. The first station on the site was built in 1902 by the Great Northern Railway. After a fire damaged the depot, a new building was constructed in 1927 at a cost of $75,000 ($1.36 million in 2024 adjusted for inflation). Burlington Northern Railway service ended after April 30, 1971, but the Amtrak Pacific International returned trains to the station the following year.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 30, 1975. The Pacific International would go on to be discontinued in 1981; Bellingham constructed a new station at Fairhaven for Amtrak service when it returned in 1995.
