Niverville is a former Boston and Albany Railroad station in the town of Schodack, New York, hamlet of Van Hoesen, New York.

The station itself was built in the 1840s by the Western Railroad of Massachusetts and became part of the Boston and Albany Railroad in 1870. Regular service to this station tapered off in the late 1940s, but timetables list scheduled service through 1959. The building presently has 3 apartments upstairs and a tavern on the ground floor. The station is currently known as the Niverville Pub.
