The Yonkers station is a railroad station in the Getty Square area of Yonkers, New York. It serves Metro-North Railroad and Amtrak trains via the Hudson Line. It was formerly one of four express stations on that line south of Croton–Harmon, but as of November 9, 2014^[update] the only express trains that stop there are a few reverse peak trains in early morning and late evening. Trains leave for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes on weekdays. It is 14.4 miles (23.2 km) from Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan and travel time to Grand Central is about 33 minutes.

The station also serves as the only Amtrak station in Southern Westchester serving points north and west like Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Montreal, and Toronto.

The station is two blocks west of the center of Getty Square in downtown Yonkers (where additional Bee-Line Bus System connections can be made), across the street from the historic Yonkers Post Office. It is also near the former Yonkers Trolley Barn.

As of August 2006^[update], daily commuter ridership was 922. Four outdoor bicycle parking racks sit across Buena Vista Avenue from the station at the edge of Van Der Donck Park.
