Émerainville – Pontault-Combault is a French railway station on the Paris–Mulhouse railway, located in Émerainville, Seine-et-Marne département, Ile-de-France region. It bears the name of Pontault-Combault commune as its territory reaches the south and the west of the building. It serves a district of Marne-la-Vallée.

The station is put into service on February 9, 1857, by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est, when the section from Nogent – Le Perreux to Nangis opens. It is a SNCF station served by RER line E trains.

Émerainville – Pontault-Combault station, whose elevation is 109 meters (358 ft), is located at kilometric point 27.224 of the Paris–Mulhouse railway, between Les Yvris – Noisy-le-Grand and Roissy-en-Brie stations..

The Est company puts in operation Émerainville station at the opening of the section from Nogent – Le Perreux to Nangis to commercial service. That section opens with only one track, the second is put into service on April 23, 1857.

In 2000, a contract between the state and the Ile-de-France region organizes the expansion of the RER E from Villiers-sur-Marne to Tournan. On February 14, 2002, the STIF board of directors approves of the pilot. On December 14, 2003, the line is cut from its historical network to Paris Est, and linked with RER E leading to Haussmann - Saint Lazare underground station. That integration modify journeys and timetables, and improves the station services. Platforms are raised from 0.55 meters (1.80 ft) to 0.92 meters (3.02 ft) to facilitate access to the carriages. Facilities improve accessibility to people with limited mobility. Screens on the platforms show real time information.
