MiamiCentral is a mixed-use railroad station development under construction in the Government Center district of Downtown, Miami, Florida. When complete, the station is planned to serve Brightline higher-speed rail, Tri-Rail commuter rail, and connect to the adjacent Government Center station serving Metrorail, Metromover, and bus lines. The 9-acre complex will also include 3 million square feet of residential, office, commercial, and retail development. The station is being built by All Aboard Florida, a subsidiary of Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) overseeing Brightline. MiamiCentral is designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects.

MiamiCentral was originally a railroad station opened April 15, 1896 as the southern terminus of Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway (FEC). The station as the southern end of the FEC line until 1905, when construction began to Key West via the Overseas Railroad. The FEC built a wooden passenger station building in 1912 at site of what would become the Dade County Courthouse. Construction on the courthouse was started in 1925 and finished 1928. Seaboard Air Line Railroad intercity passenger rail started service at the location in 1927. FEC and Seaboard both regularly serviced the site until January 23, 1963, when union workers for both companies went on strike.
