Biloxi station is a closed and unstaffed Amtrak intercity train stationinBiloxi, Mississippi. There is no station building; there is only a covered platform. The station is across the street from the Biloxi Transit Center, which serves Coast Transit Authority and Greyhound buses.

Amtrak service to Biloxi began with the Gulf Coast Limited, which operated between 1984 and 1985.[2][3] The stop was reactivated on March 31, 1993 in service on the Sunset Limited.[4] Damage to the rail line resulting from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 caused Amtrak to suspend service east of New Orleans,[1] including at Biloxi.
