Migdal HaEmek–Kfar Baruch railway station (Hebrew: תחנת הרכבת מגדל העמק – כפר ברוך) is an Israel Railways passenger station situated on the Jezreel Valley railway. It is served by one to two trains per hour in each direction.

With 259,977 passengers recorded in 2019, it was the least-used station in the North District.

There was a historic train station built in 1926 for the residents of the moshav Kfar Baruch, to the north of the village. It was a simple shack for awaiting passengers and had neither a ticket booth, nor tickets printed for the station. Therefore, the residents had to haggle with the train conductor on the train in hopes of being let in. Today, there are no remnants left of the station. It was approximately 1 km north-east of the new station location.
