Moose Jaw station is a former railway station in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was designed by Hugh G. Jones and built by the Canadian Pacific Railway from 1920 to 1922. The station comprises a two-story waiting area, a four-storey office block and a six-storey Tyndall stone clock tower.The building was designated a historic railway station in 1991.[1]

The station was a stop for Canadian Pacific Railway passenger trains. The station was also a transfer point to the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, also known as the Soo Line Railroad, which operated the Soo-Pacific from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Portal, North Dakota, during the summer. It ran through to Vancouver via a connection with Canadian Pacific Railway's The Dominion at Moose Jaw. In the winter the Soo-Dominion terminated in Moose Jaw permitting a transfer to the Dominion. It was discontinued in December 1963.[2]
