Mirabel station is a commuter rail station in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada, which is served by Exo's Saint-Jérôme line.[4] The station opened on January 4, 2021.[3]

The station is located in Saint-Janvier on the city's east side. The City of Mirabel, Exo and Union des producteurs agricoles went on a lengthy negotiation to purchase land for the station.[5]

In December 2017, the project was given the go-ahead for preliminary plans, with a construction start due in early 2019.[6] The station was expected to open by the end of 2020, but it was postponed as construction site was closed for COVID-19.[7] The station features a 300-metre-long platform, 333 parking spaces, the "kiss and ride" passenger drop-off facility, and a bus loop with three bus platforms.[5] The remaining landscape and paving work are expected to be completed by Summer 2021.[7]
