Fall River station (signed as Fall River Depot) is a not-yet-opened MBTA Commuter Rail station in northern Fall River, Massachusetts. It is planned to open on March 24, 2025, as part of the first phase of the South Coast Rail project. It will be the southern terminal of the Fall River branch of the Fall River/New Bedford Line. The station has a single side platform on the west side of the Fall River Secondary, along with a park and ride lot.

The Fall River Railroad opened to its namesake city in 1845. Bowenville station opened in the northern part of the city around 1870 under the Old Colony Railroad. It became the eastern terminal of the Fall River, Warren and Providence Railroad in 1875. A new station designed by Bradford Gilbert opened in 1892 and became the main station for the city. It saw passenger service until 1958. After over a decade of planning, construction of the modern station began in 2020.
