Bellwood is a Metra commuter railroad station in Bellwood, a western suburb of Chicago. It is served by the Union Pacific/West Line. Trains go east to Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and as far west as Elburn, Illinois. Travel time to Ogilvie is 26 to 33 minutes, depending on the train.

The station is at Frederick Avenue and Erie Street. To the south there is a parking lot and a residential neighborhood of single-family homes. A large freight railroad yard is north of the station. Immediately to the west there is a highway overpass that carries Mannheim Road over the freight yard.
