Short Hills is a New Jersey Transit train station in Short Hills, New Jersey, along the Morris and Essex Lines.

The station is located between Hobart Avenue, Chatham Road, and Station Plaza. The roads Crescent Place and Short Hills Avenue terminate at or near the station. A trestle carries trains over Short Hills Avenue. The relatively narrow opening of the trestle makes this intersection one of the most dangerous in all of Short Hills. The 1907 station had two buildings, one on each side of the double tracks. Today, however, only the building on the eastbound side (toward Hoboken and New York Penn Station) is in active use by New Jersey Transit; the westbound building houses the Millburn–Short Hills Historical Society. The eastbound building houses a waiting area, community bulletin board, a restroom, a small news stand, a restaurant, and a ticket office (normally open weekdays between 4:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., closed on weekends and holidays).

Passengers may walk from one side of the tracks to the other through a tunnel that runs beneath them, with stairways to Station Plaza and to the eastbound and westbound (toward Gladstone and Hackettstown) platforms. Both platforms are ground-level platforms. This station does not have the handicap-accessible high-level platforms available, for example, at the Summit station.
