Montclair Heights is a New Jersey Transit station in Montclair, New Jersey along the Montclair-Boonton Line.

Depending on where you're taking the train from, it is either the first or last stop of the six train stations in Montclair. The station is located on Normal Avenue at Carlisle Road, near the southwest corner of the Montclair State University campus.

Prior to the construction of the Montclair State station, Montclair Heights was used as a transfer station for trains heading north towards Dover and Hackettstown on the Boonton Line. The reason for this was that all trains going to points north of the station were required to be diesel-powered, while all the trains headed south were required to be electric-powered.
