Lisle Station is a commuter railroad station along Metra's BNSF Railway line in Lisle, Illinois. The station is located on 1000 Front Street, 24.4 miles (39.3 km) away from Union Station, the eastern terminus of the line. It is in close proximity to the Village Hall on Burlington Avenue and the St. Joan of Arc School. Parking for the station is also available near these locations, as well as further east near St. Joseph Creek Road and as far north as Ogden Avenue.

Lisle Station was originally built by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in 1864. A fire destroyed the first railroad depot, but it was rebuilt in 1874 by the CB&Q. Currently, the station has a much more contemporary appearance, and even contains a pedestrian tunnel.[1]
