Chatsworth Transportation Center, identified as "Chatsworth" on station signs, is an Intermodal passenger transport station in the Los Angeles community of Chatsworth, California. It is a train station for Amtrak and Metrolink. The station includes a passenger waiting area and a small railroad museum. There is no Amtrak ticket office.

It is served by both Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego and Metrolink's Ventura County Line from Los Angeles Union Station to East Ventura. 10 Pacific Surfliner trains serve the station daily and 20 Metrolink trains serve the station each weekday. It is a bus rapid transit station for the Metro Orange Line. The Metro Orange Line Chatsworth Extension terminates at this station. The extension began service on June 30, 2012.

Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, Chatsworth was the 32nd-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 140 passengers daily.

Also in the station building is the field office for Los Angeles City Council member Mitchell Englander.

The site originally was home to several Southern Pacific railroad stations; the last had been demolished by Southern Pacific in 1962. The station opened as an infill station on the short-lived CalTrain line on December 29, 1982, only to close just over two months later. The current station building was constructed in 1996. A station platform has existed since 1992.
