Paterson Station is a New Jersey Transit Main Line rail station located in Paterson, New Jersey. The station, which is on an elevated viaduct, has entrances on Market Street and Ward Street, and is located where Market Street, 16th Avenue, Park Avenue, Ward Street, Memorial Drive, and Railroad Avenue all come together. The station is handicap accessible via an elevator on the Ward Street side of the platform.

The station was rebuilt in a massive restoration program in 1999-2001. The elevated station was built between 1924-30 when the Erie Railroad eliminated street level grade crossings in Paterson.
