Old Greenwich is a Metro-North Railroad station in the Old Greenwich section of Greenwich, Connecticut, served by the New Haven Line.

The station is 31.2 miles (50.2 km) from Grand Central Terminal. The station has 578 parking spaces, 397 owned by the state.^[2] Lot 3, with 181 spaces and across the street from the station, is owned by the town of Greenwich, which also owns the street parking north of Lot 1.^[3]

The station house, built in 1872, was moved to its present location three years later. The station was originally called the "Sound Beach Railroad Station", in order to entice tourists and summer visitors to disembark and travel by trolley down to numerous shorefront inns. Its name was changed in 1931 to "Old Greenwich". The building was later placed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[4]

The Railway Cafe is located inside the station house and serves freshly ground premium coffees, teas, fresh baked goods and juices. Commuters are greeted every morning by Station Manager Adam Fairbanks starting at 5:00am. Consistently ranked highest among commuter stations on Metro North line based on ambience and cleanliness.
