The Nouvelle station was a railway station in Nouvelle, Quebec, Canada. It was formerly a Via Rail flag stop serving the Montreal-Gaspé train, but passenger service east of Matapédia station was suspended in 2013. It was served by the Montreal – Gaspé train three days a week in each direction towards Montreal or Gaspé.[2]

The station, which handled both freight and passenger traffic, is a wooden framed shingle building.[3] It is on the corner of Maguire Street and Station Street (Rue Maguire and Rue de la Gare).[4] Nearby attractions include the Miguasha National Park.[5]
