Sacramento Valley Station (SAC) is an Amtrak railway station in the city of Sacramento, California, at 401 I Street on the corner of Fifth Street. It is the 2nd busiest station in California, and 7th busiest Amtrak Station in America, with thousands of riders a day and over a million passengers per year. Today it is served by 38 daily Amtrak and Amtrak California trains, many Amtrak Thruway Motorcoaches, plus the western terminus of the Sacramento RT light rail Gold Line and the Route 30 bus serving Sacramento State University. It is a planned station of the Sacramento Streetcar.

Sacramento is served by four Amtrak routes - two daily long-distance routes, and two Amtrak California corridor routes with multiple daily trains - for a total of 38 daily trains on weekdays and 30 on weekends. The California Zephyr and Coast Starlight are long-distance routes with one train per day in each direction. The San Joaquins operates two daily round trips with Sacramento as the northern terminus (most San Joaquins trips do not serve Sacramento and terminate at Oakland instead). The Capitol Corridor operates 15 round trips on weekdays and 11 on weekends; Sacramento is the northern terminus for all trains except for one daily round trip which continues to Auburn.

In FY2015, Sacramento was the second busiest of Amtrak's 74 California stations, boarding or detraining an average of about 2,813 passengers daily. It is Amtrak's seventh-busiest station nationwide.

As of January 2016^[update], Amtrak operates Thruway Motorcoach service on four routes serving Sacramento Valley Station:
