The Wasilla Depot is a railway station in Wasilla, Alaska along the Alaska Railroad. The station building was constructed in 1917. It was designed and built by the Alaska Engineering Commission, a federal agency charged with building Alaska's railways.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.^[1] The structure was restored by the Lions Clubs and the Wasilla Chamber of Commerce.^[when?]^[3]

Originally located near the intersection of Parks Highway and Kinks Goose Bay Road, the station building was moved to its current location in 2020. Trains continued to stop at the old location, sans depot, until January 4, 2025 when trains began utilizing the moved depot.^[4]
