Hollis is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line at the intersection of 193rd Street and Woodhull Avenue in Hollis, Queens, New York City, United States. It has two side platforms along the four-track line; only trains to/from the Hempstead Branch stop. The station was called East Jamaica until 1885. The station house was destroyed by arson on November 2, 1967 and a new one was built in the early 1990s.
