Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway Passenger Depot is a historic train station located at Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina. It was built in 1890 by the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway, and is a two-story brick passenger depot with a deep hip roof in the Romanesque Revival style. The seven bay by two bay building features a rounded brick arch arcade. It operated as a passenger station until about 1900, after which it housed commercial enterprises.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The building now houses the Fayetteville Area Transportation Museum, with displays about area transportation and local history, including a model train room and a recreated station agent’s office. The adjacent annex building includes vintage cars, a recreated 1920s gas station, a steam pump engine, exhibits on local law enforcement and fire department, farms life, Fort Bragg and Pope Army Air Field.
