Floral Park is a Long Island Rail Road train station in Floral Park, New York at Tulip and Atlantic Avenues. It is primarily a Hempstead Branch station, but there is limited service to the Port Jefferson Branch service (the Main Line) on weekday mornings.

The elevated station is configured to serve all four tracks that pass through it as follows: the north side platform (Platform A) and the north side of the island platform (Platform B) serve the Main Line, and the south side of the island platform (Platform 1) and the south side platform (Platform 2) serve the Hempstead Branch. On weekday mornings, as of September 2006, only three eastbound trains stop at Platform B and one westbound train stops at Platform A. These services are intended to supplement service to and from the west and are not necessarily intended for Port Jefferson Branch customers. The station is not wheelchair accessible.
