Buffalo–Exchange Street is an Amtrak station in Buffalo, New York. It was originally built by the New York Central Railroad.

The station serves six Amtrak trains daily: two daily Empire Service round trips and one Maple Leaf round trip. The station is approximately two blocks away from the Erie Canal Harbor and Seneca stations on the Buffalo Metro Rail light rail line. It is also close to the First Niagara Center. There is also daily Coach USA bus service at the station, operating between Buffalo Metropolitan Transportation Center and Jamestown, New York, via Dunkirk and Fredonia, and serving the communities along the southeast shore of Lake Erie.

There have been four New York Central Railroad stations on Exchange Street in Buffalo, the third of which was built in 1880. Its importance declined after Buffalo Central Terminal opened in 1929, and it was closed on November 13, 1935.

Planning for the current structure began in 1949. New York heavily funded the station as being part of the Skyway construction. The total cost was $7 million. The station opened on August 2, 1952. The station originally served 21 New York Central and Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway trains daily. The double track station had two side platforms connected by an overhead walkway.
