The Jacquet River station is a flag stop Via Rail station in the community of Jacquet River, New Brunswick, Canada. Jacquet River is served by Via Rail's Montreal-Halifax train, the Ocean.[1]

Until 2021 the station was a traditional bay-windowed passenger and freight station, built by Canadian National Railway. In the summer of 2021, VIA announced the demolition of the station due to its poor condition.[2] The station was demolished, along with nearby Charlo station between October 7 and 9, 2021.[3] VIA Rail's train, the Ocean, continues to make stops on request at the flag stop platform.
