Amagansett is a station along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Railroad. It is located at Main Street and Abrahms Landing Road, in Amagansett, New York.

Amagansett Station opened in June 1870 and was burned to the ground on July 6, 1884. Another station replaced it the same year. The station was closed either in 1958 or January 1959, then burned down in May 1963 and replaced with a sheltered platform.
