The Chicago and North Western Depot in Watertown, Wisconsin is a railroad depot built in 1903 and operated by the Chicago and North Western Railway. The station served passengers from 1903 to 1950. Afterward, it serviced freight trains until 1976. It has since been converted into a florist shop. The Union Pacific Railroad's single-tracked Clyman Subdivision remains in front of the depot.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.
