Lyndhurst Station is a New Jersey Transit rail station located off of New York Avenue in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. The station is one of two in Lyndhurst, the other being Kingsland Station. The Lyndhurst Station is located at milepost 8.2 on the Main Line

Formerly part of the Lackawanna Boonton Line, the brick station was built 1928 to replace an older wood facility.

On June 22, 2010, the town of Lyndhurst put forward the proposal to buy the station depots at both Lyndhurst and sister Kingsland stations. The mayor of Lyndhurst, Richard DiLascio, said that the stations have seen better days and New Jersey Transit has no interest in renovating both buildings, rather selling both at a fee to the town of Lyndhurst.

During the summer of 2011 the Lyndhurst station went under some minor refurbishing. The stairs on the Hoboken-bound side have had new supports added to them and the roof has been replaced.
