Roslindale Village is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Boston, Massachusetts. It serves the Needham Line. It is located in the Roslindale Square business district of the Roslindale neighborhood.

The station was originally built by the Boston and Providence Railroad, and contained two station houses. Currently, it is located across the tracks from Roslindale Village/Roslindale Square itself, near the Boston School of Modern Languages, the Bay State Society of Model Engineers, and various local businesses. South Street runs into the parking lots on both sides of the tracks, but does not cross the tracks, although a very old pedestrian underpass allows the sidewalk to continue between these two stretches of South Street. This station is fully wheelchair accessible.

• 35: Dedham Mall or Stimson Street - Forest Hills Station
• 36: Millennium Park or VA Hospital - Forest Hills Station
• 37: Baker Street & Vermont Street - Forest Hills Station

Four additional routes stop on Washington Street about 500 feet (150 m) east of the station:

• 34: Dedham Line or Dedham Mall - Forest Hills Station
• 34E: Walpole Center - Forest Hills Station
• 40: Georgetowne - Forest Hills Station
• 50: Cleary Square - Forest Hills Station

Route 192, a single early-morning trip, also serves Roslindale Square.
