Brentwood is a station along the Main Line (Ronkonkoma Branch) of the Long Island Rail Road. It is officially located at Suffolk County Road 100 (Suffolk Avenue) and Brentwood Road in Brentwood, New York. However it has parking facilities and other amenities that are extended far beyond its given location. The actual station is located across the tracks from the dead end of Eighth Street near Leroy Avenue. The parking lot entrance is on Suffolk Avenue 1/2 mile east of Brentwood Road/Washington Avenue.

The first station was originally built in 1870, then burned down in April 1903 and replaced on November 10, 1903. Until 1987, Brentwood Station was located at the southwest corner of Suffolk CR 100 and Brentwood Rd. It was moved as part of a major reconstruction project of the line in Ronkonkoma, Central Islip, Brentwood, Deer Park, and Wyandanch. The station was built in close proximity of the former Brentwood Station, which was converted into a restaurant shortly after it was abandoned. All grade crossings in the Brentwood area remain unchanged after the station was moved.
