Greenwood station is a former interurban railway station in Greenwood, Indiana. It is located at 211 South Madison Avenue — the tracks formerly ran embedded in the roadway. The Indianapolis, Greenwood, and Franklin Railroad completed their line between Indianapolis and Greenwood on January 1, 1900,[2] with full service beginning in the following weeks.[3][4] The station building was constructed around 1915 and housed successor company Interstate Public Service's offices. Rail service ended after September 8, 1941.

The station building was deemed a contributing property of the Greenwood Commercial Historic District when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
