Castro station was a Caltrain stop in Mountain View, California, just south of the railroad crossing at Rengstorff Avenue. It lay on the Peninsula Subdivision in fare zone 3 and was owned by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board. The station was originally operated by Southern Pacific and later used by Caltrain.

The newer San Antonio station opened about 0.8 miles north in April 1999, and Castro’s weekday boardings dropped by about half. In February 2000 the station averaged 111 weekday boardings. Castro closed on February 6, 2000.
