The Yorba Linda Depot is a former railway station of the Pacific Electric Railway, located in Yorba Linda, California. The station was in service for the La Habra–Fullerton–Yorba Linda Line. Rail service began in 1910 when tracks were laid through the town as far southeast as Stern. Passenger service beyond Yorba Linda was abandoned after August 1, 1930 and ended altogether after January 22, 1938.

After closing as a railway depot, the building was a nursery, a lumber yard office, a real estate office, and a restaurant.[1] The station building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 25, 1979. Polly's restaurant opened in the building in 1992.[2]
