Lee Hall station is a historic railway depot located in the Lee Hall neighborhood of Newport News, Virginia. It was built about 1881, as a one-story, frame building. A two-story midsection was added in 1893 with Stick Style embellishments and a pentagonal two-story bay. A one-story wing was added by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to the north end of the depot in 1918 to handle the influx of military personnel to Fort Eustis. The depot was used for passenger service until Amtrak took over service on May 1, 1971. Amtrak resumed service to Lee Hall with the Colonial on October 30, 1977. The Lee Hall Depot was moved from its original location in 2009 to prevent it from being demolished by the CSX Railroad. The building is under restoration to be used as a local history museum.
In September 2015 the Lee Hall Train Station Foundation received a $600,000 federal grant to pay for the building's restoration.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 as Lee Hall Depot.
