The Louisville and Nashville Depot is a historic railroad station in Evergreen, Conecuh County, Alabama, United States.

The station building was constructed by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in 1907 at a cost of $14,911 (equivalent to $487,590 in 2023 adjusted for inflation). During the early 19th century, the station served as a gathering place for one of the social occasions of the small town, the meeting of the Sunday afternoon train.^[2]

It is now^[when?] in a very good state of preservation,^{[according to whom?]} although it was threatened by demolition during the 1970s.^[2] The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1975.^[1]

The last train service to utilize the station was Amtrak's Gulf Breeze, which stopped in Evergreen during its run from 1989 to 1995.

The one-story wood-frame building rests atop a low concrete foundation. It is roughly cruciform in plan, measuring 167 by 49 feet (51 m × 15 m) at its widest points.
