Hillsdale is an active commuter railroad station in the borough of Hillsdale, Bergen County, New Jersey. Servicing trains on New Jersey Transit's Pascack Valley Line, the station is located at the intersection of Broadway (County Route 104) and Hillsdale Avenue (County Route 112). The next station to the north toward Spring Valley station is Woodcliff Lake and the next station to the south toward Hoboken Terminal is Westwood. The station contains one track while a single low-level side platform next to the station depot, resulting in no accessibility for handicapped persons under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

The opening of the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad from Anderson Street station in Hackensack to Hillsdale on March 4, 1870 resulted in the beginning of service. The station was one of two later operated by the Erie Railroad in Hillsdale, with the opening of the station at Hillsdale Manor in 1893.[7][8]
