Weston GO Station is a GO Transit railway station on the Kitchener line in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 39 John Street in the community of Weston, near Lawrence Avenue West and Weston Road.
The station is served by a single Canadian National Railway track, which is shared with freight trains and Via Rail. Its platform is long enough to accommodate a full-length train of ten BiLevel carriages and one or two locomotives, and it has a small station building for ticket sales with a Ticket Vending Machine.
The station has a 110-space parking lot, which is owned by the City of Toronto but leased by GO Transit. There are pedestrian accesses to the station at John Street and at Lawrence Avenue West, and the station is wheelchair-accessible.
The GO station is located south of the old CPR Weston Station (and north of John Street) built in the 1880s. This station was demolished in the 1970s and now vacant land east of the CNR tracks and along the CPR line. A Tim Hortons on south side of Lawrence Avenue West pays homage to the old station with a replica "Weston" station sign on roof facing west.

“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
