Avenel is an infrequently used New Jersey Transit commuter rail station. The station currently has four trains stop at it on weekdays. It is located on the North Jersey Coast Line between Rahway and Woodbridge Stations.

The station had been slated for closing because of the excessive costs of adding elevators for handicapped access. The station was saved by the community's recommendation that ramps be used, instead.
