Warner Robins Train Depot is a historic train depot in Warner Robins, Georgia in Houston County, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 2, 2008. It is located at 1st Street, just south of the Robins Air Force Base.[2]

It was built during 1943-44 as a combined passenger and freight depot. It is a one-story brick building. It was designed with separate waiting areas for white passengers vs. African-American passengers. In 2007 (and still in 2017) it served as the W.L. Greenway Welcome Center for Warner Robins of the Warner Robins Convention and Visitors' Bureau, and it had a caboose on the property.[2]
