The Kilmer Street Fire Station is a historic former fire station located at the corner of Oak and Kilmer Streets in Taunton, Massachusetts. It was built in 1915 to replace a previous station on Olney Street, and is the youngest of the city's five historic fire stations.

The two story single bay structure features a pyramidal hipped roof and matching hose tower. The original bay door has been replaced to allow for larger vehicles.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The building is currently used by the city for storage.
