Arthur Kill is a station on the Staten Island Railway (SIR). It has replaced the Atlantic and Nassau stations, which were the two stations that were in the poorest condition along the line. Located near Arthur Kill Road in Tottenville, Staten Island, New York, the station opened on January 21, 2017. It has two tracks and two side platforms, and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

This station has two tracks and two side platforms, with an overpass connecting the platforms. As opposed to the Nassau and Atlantic stations, which this station replaces, both platforms can accommodate four-car (300 feet-long) trains. Those stations only had single-door boarding. The station is ADA-accessible via two ramps, one on each side of the overpass. The northbound and southbound platforms are connected by an overpass. It includes a 150-car parking lot, on SIR property, that can be expanded in the future. There are benches and surveillance cameras on both platforms and windscreens, which are covered by canopies. The total cost of the station was $27.6 million. Artwork was installed as part of the opening of the station. The artwork, titled "Tottenville Sun, Tottenville Sky", was created by Jenna Lucente and is located in the windscreens. The artwork, consisting of 28 laminated glass panels, depicts the landscape and wildlife of the adjacent community.

The construction of an Arthur Kill station was first proposed in the 1990s to replace the Nassau and Atlantic stations, which were located directly to the south and north of the station, respectively. Commuters from these stations were only allowed access from the last cars of the trains. As a result, these two stations were not included in station modernization programs with other stations. The construction of the station had been deferred due to budget constraints, but funding for it was included in the 2010–2014 MTA Capital Program, with $16 million allocated to the project.
