Laurel Race Track is a passenger rail station on the MARC Camden Line between the District of Columbia's Washington Union Station and Baltimore's Camden Station.{{cite web |url=https://mta.maryland.gov/sites/default/files/MARCsystemmap.JPG |title=MARC System Map (includes Laurel Race Track)] |publisher=Maryland Transit Administration |access-date=May 13, 2017 }} The station was built in 1911, by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to serve the Laurel Park race track, as is indicated by the station's eponymous name.

The station and race track are just northeast of Laurel, Maryland, United States. Since the railroad tracks at the station form a geographical boundary, one station platform is in Howard County and the other (unused by MARC) is in Anne Arundel County.

Service at this station is very limited. Only evening south/westbound trains (to Washington) stop at this station, and it is a flag stop, meaning that trains only stop if passengers need to get on or off.{{cite web |url=https://www.mta.maryland.gov/schedule/timetable/marc-camden?schedule_date={{MONTH|{{MONTHNAME|{{CURRENTMONTH}}}}}}%2F{{CURRENTDAY2}}%2F{{CURRENTYEAR}} |title=MARC Camden Line WB Schedule |publisher=Maryland Transit Administration |access-date=April 21, 2025 }}
