The Greenwich station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North New Haven Line in Greenwich, Connecticut. The station is served by local trains originating and terminating in Stamford or New Canaan. It is also the first/last stop for some express trains that originate/terminate at South Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven–Union Station or New Haven–State Street.

Unlike most station on the line, Greenwich station is owned and maintained by multiple agencies and organizations. The State of Connecticut owns the station's platforms, Metro-North maintains the platforms, but the station building and parking facilities are privately owned.

Greenwich is 28.1 miles from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from Grand Central is 57 minutes (though expresses run as fast as 38 minutes). Greenwich is the first station on the line in the state of Connecticut.

As of August 2006, weekday commuter ridership was 2,804, and there are 1,274 parking spots (none owned by the state, unlike most other railroad stations in Connecticut).

The Penn Central Transportation Company opened the current station building on March 5, 1970, replacing an older structure which was demolished. As built the new building was a two-story structure with 8,550-square-foot (794 m²) of space. The station was the centerpiece of Greenwich Plaza, a new mixed-use retail development.

This station has two high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long.
