Markham GO Station is a railway station in the GO Transit network located on Markham Main Street North in Markham, Ontario in Canada. It is a stop on the Stouffville line, which only has peak hour train service. Off-peak and contra-peak service is provided by buses stopping on-street adjacent to the station. Busses on GO bus route 54 (Markham-York University) on the 407 East Corridor also stop here

The station was built in 1871 by the Toronto and Nipissing Railway, which was taken over by the Grand Trunk Railway, which ultimately became part of the Canadian National Railway in 1923. It has been designated as a heritage railway station by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.

The station design is based on classic Canadian Railway Style with elements of the Vernacular-Carpenter Gothic architecture of the mid-19th Century Ontario.

The city of Markham purchased the building as a Millennium project and are undertaking its restoration in conjunction with the Markham Village Conservancy, which manages the station. In addition to facilities for GO Transit, the building is used as community centre, with two rooms with a capacity of either 100 or 30 people, available for rental.

This route is operated by the TTC on behalf of the YRT
