Grenada station is a former railroad station in Grenada, Mississippi. It was jointly constructed by Mississippi Central and Tennessee and Mississippi Railroads in 1870. The two previous depots were burned during the United States Civil War. The second story and sheds were added by the Illinois Central Railroad in 1926. The building is now used for the Grenada Railroad as its headquarters.
