Radburn is a New Jersey Transit train station in the Dutch Colonial Revival style, served by the Bergen County Line. It is located on Fair Lawn Avenue in the Radburn section of Fair Lawn, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. It is one of two New Jersey Transit train stations in Fair Lawn, the other being Broadway.
The station was designed and built in 1930 by Clarence Stein as part of the Radburn development. It has been listed in the state and federal registers of historic places since 1984 and is part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource. It is staffed with a station agent weekday mornings.
The location of the Radburn development was considered beneficial because of its location on the Erie Railroad with connections to Hoboken, Newark and Manhattan. The designers of the development saw the benefit of a suburban railroad station for planning throughout the New York Metropolitan Area. In July 1928, they proposed the Fairlawn Station Square with a depot that cost $60,000 (1928 USD) and would serve those who would be in the neighborhood after construction of the first 200 homers. The new depot would serve Suffern to the north and Hoboken to the southeast along with connections in the area.
