The McCreary railway station is a flag stop in McCreary, Manitoba, Canada. The station is served by Via Rail's Winnipeg–Churchill train.[1][2]

The station building was built in 1912 by the Canadian Northern Railway as a third-class station, to standard plan 100-29, with station functions on the ground floor and living quarters for the station agent above.[3] The station building was designated a heritage railway station of Canada in 1991.[4] The station is now unstaffed, as the building is not used by passengers.
