Old Town is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Old Town, Staten Island, New York.

The station opened between the years of 1937 and 1939. The original name of the station was "Old Town Road;" the "Road" was dropped soon after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority assumed control of the Staten Island Railway from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1971 (the MTA concurrently shortened the name of the Huguenot Park station to simply "Huguenot").

The station is located on an embankment at Railroad Avenue on the main line. It has two side platforms, and metal orange canopies and walls. The exit at the south end leads to Old Town Road while an additional staircase at the north end of the northbound platform leads to a roadway to Dawson Place and Oregon Road, and is used most heavily by students from the adjacent Academy of St. Dorothy, a Roman Catholic elementary school. Just north of this station, a spur that had multiple purposes and served the press building of the Staten Island Advance newspaper is nowadays used as a storage spur for ballast cars.
