Lexington station was a railway station in Lexington, Kentucky. The Southern Railway reached Lexington in 1877. The original station was gutted in a fire in 1906, and a new building was constructed adjacent to the old one. The railroads moved operations into the new depot on March 9, 1908. Passenger service ceased in 1971. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1987. Renovations on the building had stalled that summer due to nearby freeway construction. The building was largely destroyed in a fire on May 4, 1991, and it was demolished that October.
