North Billerica is a commuter rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Lowell Line, located in the North Billerica village of Billerica, Massachusetts. The depot building, built in 1867, was renovated, expanded, and returned to station use in 1998. The station has mini-high platforms for handicapped accessibility.

The depot that stands at the station site is on the National Register of Historic Places and was completely renovated in 1998. It served as a flag stop on the Boston and Lowell Railroad's main line and was the north terminal of the narrow gauge Billerica and Bedford Railroad (B&B). In 1998, the North Billerica Depot underwent extensive renovations as part of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's efforts to restore and expand its Billerica commuter rail stop. The new depot and train station were rededicated on October 30, 1998.

On January 23, 2015, several people were injured when the retractable edge of the outbound platform collapsed while passengers were deboarding. Both mini-high platforms were taken out of service for a number of months, with portable lifts used until the mini-high platforms were returned to service.

North Billerica station is served by two Lowell Regional Transit Authority local bus routes:
