Gretz-Armainvilliers is a French railway station located in Gretz-Armainvilliers, in Seine-et-Marne département, in Île-de-France region.

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.

The station is situated at kilometric point 38.321 of Paris-Mulhouse railway, between Ozoir-la-Ferrière and Verneuil-l'Étang. Its altitude is 109 m.

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.
