Rocklin station is an Amtrak train station in Rocklin, California, United States. The city and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency funded the design and construction of the current $1.25 million depot, which opened in July 2006. Designed by Studio SMS of nearby Roseville and inspired by historic 19th and early 20th century stations, the depot is dominated by a clock tower. The building is finished in a random ashlar stone veneer in varying shades of grey and beige and stucco with complementary brown tones.

The depot has a waiting room for rail and bus passengers, and there are also offices for the Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce as well as a room reserved for community meetings.

It's been claimed the platform is movable to accommodate Union Pacific's rotary snowplows, which may scrape a platform that is 8 inches above top of rail, but the Rocklin platforms aren't that high and don't appear to be movable, or to need to be.

In FY2012 Rocklin was the 43rd-busiest of Amtrak's 74 California stations, boarding or detraining an average of about 90 passengers daily.
