The Eagan Transit Station is a transit facility located in Eagan, Minnesota. Riders also hail from the nearby communities of Mendota Heights and Northern Rosemount. The Park & Ride lot has 750 parking spaces for bus passengers and retail employees.

The station is an example of mixed-use, transit-oriented development. Originally a surface lot for a park-and-ride stop, it currently includes retailers such as Bruegger's Bagels, The Tobacco Outlet, LeeAnn Chin and T-Mobile. Starbucks originally had a location at the station but moved up the street to Central Park Commons shortly after the opening of HyVee in September 2016. The facility is owned by Minnesota Valley Transit Authority.

In 2019, the station had 328 cars parked at the facility in a fall survey of park and rides in the Twin Cities.^[1] During the COVID-19 pandemic, usage dropped to only 22 cars in fall 2020 but by fall 2023, it had grown to 94.^[2][3]
