South Farmingdale was a station along the Central Branch of the Long Island Rail Road in South Farmingdale, New York, United States. It first appeared on timetables of the Central Railroad Extension Company of Long Island(a CRRLI subsidiary) in May 1873, though service may have been delayed a month or two. In 1873, it was named "Farmingdale Station" despite the fact that the LIRR had its own Farmingdale Station. The station depot itself was not built until either August or September 1873, and was located on the east side of Main Street just south of W. C. Dupignac's Hotel. A freight house was erected by the railroad in either April or May 1874 but the station was closed on June 1, 1876. It was reopened by the Long Island Railroad in June 1936 with a sheltered platform for a stop named "South Farmingdale", but it was razed and closed as a station stop again in 1974, making it the last station to operate along the Central Branch. A proposal to reopen a station across the Nassau-Suffolk County Line between NY 110 and the Southern State Parkway during the 1980s was never implemented.
