Dean Street station is a former train station located off Dean Street (US Route 44) in Taunton, Massachusetts. The Italianate structure was built in 1876, replacing a previous station opened in 1866. It served passenger trains until the 1890s. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as Old Colony Railroad Station.

A new MBTA Commuter Rail station called Taunton station (not to be confused with the defunct Taunton Central station, which was located further west on Oak Street) has been proposed near the Dean Street station site as part of the second phase of the South Coast Rail project.
