Sayville is a station of the Long Island Rail Road in the village of Sayville, New York. It serves the Montauk Branch and is located on Depot Street between Greeley Avenue and Railroad Avenue.
Sayville Station was originally built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island in December 1868, and was the terminus of the line until April 1869 when the line was extended to Patchogue. At the time it contained coal sidings, spurs into lumber yards, a dairy farm, and even a horse trolley to the Great South Bay. The original station was razed sometime in 1906, and a second depot was opened on August 3 later that year. A renovation project took place sometime in 2001.
