The Newport News Transportation Center is an under-construction Amtrak inter-city train station and intermodal transport hub in Newport News, Virginia. The station will be located about 1 mile (1.6 km) from Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport on Bland Boulevard between Warwick Boulevard and Interstate 64.

The station is planned to consolidate all of the region's public transport entities into one location and serve as the new southern terminus of the Virginia Peninsula branch of the Northeast Regional. It will service its current two daily round trips, which currently serve the current Newport News station, located 9 miles (14 km) to the south. An Amtrak Thruway motorcoach connection to Norfolk station will effectively double the frequency between each station and Washington. A second, smaller station in downtown Newport News was also proposed but has been indefinitely postponed.
