Weston GO Station is a train station in Toronto, Ontario, serving the GO Transit Kitchener line and the Union Pearson Express. It is located on the south side of Lawrence Avenue West, just east of Weston Road, in the neighbourhood of Weston.

Weston station consists of three tracks served by one side and one island platform, and a fourth track and side platform are planned on the north side of station. Each platform has two sections: UP Express trains stop at high-level platforms at the west end of the station, while Kitchener Line trains stop at low-level platforms at the east end of the station. In addition to the Metrolinx-owned passenger rail tracks, the double-tracked Canadian Pacific MacTier Subdivision passes along the north edge of the station.

The station is fully accessible, with pedestrian entrances from Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue and a pedestrian bridge across Lawrence Avenue. The station parking lot has a capacity of 144 cars and it includes a kiss and ride passenger drop off area. An additional 110-space parking lot north of John Street, is owned by the City of Toronto but leased by GO Transit.

A new pedestrian bridge opened in late October 2016 providing a means to cross Lawrence Avenue without having to walk over to either Weston Road or Ralph Street.

The first stations at this location were the Weston Stations of the Canadian National Railway (CNR) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The CNR station was built in 1856 by the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) which was absorbed by the CNR in 1923. The Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway (TG&BR) went into service in 1871 on narrow gauge rail, which had been converted to standard gauge track by 1883, and became part of the CPR in 1884.
