The Greenville station, also known as Katy Depot, is a train depot constructed in 1896 in Greenville, Texas. It was operated by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company. It was registered in the United States National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 1997.

The building foundation is made of limestone, and its walls are built of red brick with cut sandstone wainscoting.

The train depot is also home to the Greenville Railroad Museum.[2]
