Croy railway station serves the towns of Croy and Kilsyth, as well as part of Cumbernauld, in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Located on the Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line 18 km (11½ miles) north west of Glasgow Queen Street, it is also served by SPT services on the Croy Line. Train services are provided by First ScotRail. The station has park-and-ride facilities and there are bus connections to Kilsyth and Cumbernauld.

The old Station building was demolished and replaced with a modern, glass and steel building similar in design to Lenzie station.

The station currently has inadequate parking facilities and as a result people park their cars in a field next to the station. Due to demand plans have now been made to build a multistorey car park and park and ride facility making it the largest of such outside Glasgow and Edinburgh.
