Brookfield station is a former Canadian National Railway station in Brookfield, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, built in 1938[1] or 1933.[2]

In 1998, the building was moved from its former location adjacent to the railway line to another location in Brookfield, Ed Creelman Memorial Park.[1] The station building and the park in which it is located are now operated by a community group, Brookfield Railway Station and Heritage Society.[3] The station building houses historical artifacts and the grounds are used for community events.[3][4]
