Pleasant Plains is an elevated Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Pleasant Plains, Staten Island, New York.

The station opened on June 2, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Annadale to Tottenville.

Located at Penton Street and Amboy Road on the main line, it has two side platforms and orange canopies. The north exit leads to Amboy Road via a 75-foot (23 m) long passage and steps. Parts of the old northbound platforms are visible and can be viewed from either side at the north end of this station; wooden boards and concrete are evidence of this.

South of the station is another set of crossovers and the right-of-way of the Mount Loretto Spur that formerly served the Mount Loretto orphanage. The B&O served the Mt. Loretto non-electrified branch until 1950, which had some industry and a passenger station. The Mt. Loretto branch track was removed in the 1960s and 1970s but some ties were visible until the 1980s. A coal dump trestle is all that remains, located behind the powerhouse.
