The Hudson Lake (NICTD) station is a station stop operated by the South Shore Line in the unincorporated community of Hudson Lake, Indiana. It is one of a very few interurban stations located in a rural region of the United States, being located approximately halfway between the much larger communities of Michigan City and South Bend.

Like most interurban railroads of the early 20th century, the Chicago, South Shore and South Bend Railroad was designed to string together farm communities with nearby cities. Most of these interurban railroads have ended this type of service, and the Hudson Lake station is one of the few such stations that remain.

As of 2008, the Hudson Lake station is a flag stop. A customer seeking to board the train here is requested to push a button and activate a flashing strobe light that will catch the attention of the train engineer.
