Shields' Station, also known as Shields' Tavern, is a historic building in Blaine, Tennessee, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A tavern was established at the site around 1830. It was acquired by Dr. Samuel Shields, who operated the property as a stagecoach stop, tavern, store, medical dispensary, and post office. It was an important stop for travelers until the 1860s.[2][3]
