The Westport oadstation (also informally known as Saugatuck Station) is one of two New Haven Line stations serving the residents of Westport, Connecticut. It is located in the center of the Saugatuck section of town, a few miles south of downtown Westport; the station was named Westport & Saugatuck in timetables of the New Haven Railroad and the early years of its corporate successor, Penn Central.

Westport is 44.2 miles (71.1 km) from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from Grand Central is one hour, seven minutes, though this varies depending on run and time of day.

The station has 1,454 parking spaces, 1,126 of them owned by the state. The ticket office at this station was closed July 7, 2010 and tickets must be purchased from vending machines adjacent to the platforms.

This station has two high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long. The northern platform, adjacent to Track 3, is generally used by westbound trains. The southern platform, adjacent to Track 4, is generally used by eastbound trains.

The New Haven Line has four tracks at this location. The two inner tracks, not adjacent to either platform, are used only by express trains.
