New Brunswick Station is a railroad station on the New Jersey Transit Northeast Corridor Line and the Amtrak Northeast Corridor in New Brunswick, New Jersey. While New Brunswick has had a railroad station since the mid-19th century, the current station was built in 1903 by the Pennsylvania Railroad and service was subsequently taken over by Penn Central and then New Jersey Transit and Amtrak.

It is across the street from the Old Queens campus of Rutgers University, at the corner of French and Albany Streets in the downtown of New Brunswick. In 2006, there was a 90% loss in passengers on Amtrak trains serving the station due to the transfer of Amtrak Clocker services to New Jersey Transit.
