The Santa Fe Passenger Depot, also known as Fresno station, is a staffed train station in Fresno, California served by Amtrak California's San Joaquin line, which runs six times daily between Oakland or Sacramento and Bakersfield. (The next southbound stop for all trains is in Hanford and the next northbound stop for all trains is in Madera.)

While the station is close to the Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, no public transportation to the parks is offered from this station (an Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach to Yosemite is operated from the Merced station and public transportation to Kings Canyon and Sequoia is available at the Thruway Motorcoach stop in Visalia.)

The station is located at 2650 Tulare Street, just off Santa Fe Street, across the street from the Fresno City Hall. It is situated in the middle of a rough triangle formed by the three freeways in the city (California State Route 99, California State Route 41, and California State Route 198) and is easily accessible from all three.

Of the 78 California stations served by Amtrak, Fresno was the 12th-busiest in FY2013, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 1,094 passengers daily.

The station has an indoor waiting room open from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm daily. Inside the station there is a baggage check service, baggage assistance, and an automatic check-in device. In addition to the ticketing agent, there is a Quik-Trak ticket kiosk. There is also a bathroom and payphone. The station has 11 short term and 98 long term parking spaces.
