Convent Station is a New Jersey Transit rail station on the Morristown Line. It is located on the grounds of the College of Saint Elizabeth in Convent Station, Morris Township.

The station has two side platforms, with the station house on the eastbound platform. A ticket office and waiting room is open weekdays. The main driveway into the College is located at a level crossing at the east end of the platform.

Nearby are several office complexes, including the headquarters of Honeywell to the west and Wyeth at Giralda Farms to the east. A bicycle trail, formerly a line of the Morris County Traction Company, runs along the northeastern side of the line.
