New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal (NOUPT) is an intermodal facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, US. Located at 1001 Loyola Avenue, it is served by Amtrak, Greyhound Lines, Megabus, and NORTA with direct connections to the Loyola Ave. Streetcar line.

The station is the major southern terminus hub for Amtrak, serving three trains (Sunset Limited, City of New Orleans, and Crescent). Amtrak also operates a coach and engine yard near the terminal. It is the second-busiest Amtrak station in the Southeast United States after the Sanford, Florida, station. (Since 2005, the Sunset Limited has terminated at NOUPT instead of Orlando, Florida, because Hurricane Katrina damaged tracks owned by CSX, although Amtrak officials in 2016 proposed to reopen service to Orlando.)

The New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal was built just west of the older New Orleans Union Station to consolidate passenger rail operations from the city's railroad stations. Parts of the station property also are over what once was the turning basin for the New Basin Canal. The main lead track to the terminal follows the path of the old canal (which was filled in) and the Pontchartrain Expressway/I-10.
