Manhasset is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch in Manhasset, New York. The current station was built in the 1920s in a trench, at Plandome Road and Maple Place, off Park Avenue, five blocks North of Northern Boulevard, and is 17.2 miles (27.7 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. Despite the line being only single track, more parking spaces are available than at other nearby stations on the line, hence many commuters who don't live in Manhasset use it.

Manhasset station was built in 1899 after the Manhasset Viaduct was completed. The station was replaced in 1925 and restored in 2001.
