St. Cloud Depot is a former railway station in St. Cloud, Florida. After the original c. 1910 station building failed to placate demand, the city petitioned for a new station be built on the site. The old building was moved north of the tracks and continued use as the local freight depot;[1] the new passenger station was opened in May 1918.[2] Passenger service ceased and the line was abandoned by the 1930s. The Veterans of Foreign Wars had taken over the building by 1943.[3]

The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 31, 2018.
