Union Station is a historic former railroad station located in downtown Palmer, Massachusetts. The building, which was designed by American architect H. H. Richardson, opened in June 1884 to consolidate two separate stations nearby. The grounds of the station were originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

It is located at the junction of the Boston and Albany Railroad (later part of the New York Central Railroad, and now the CSX Boston Subdivision), the New London Northern Railroad (later the Central Vermont Railway, now the New England Central Railroad), and the Ware River Railroad (later under the New York Central, and now operated by the Massachusetts Central Railroad).
