Westhampton is a station along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located on Station Road and Depot Road in Westhampton, New York.

Westhampton Station was originally built between February and March 1870. In 1905, a second station was built, when the first one was moved to a private location. The station was burned down in 1986, but rebuilt sometime between then and the year 2000. Currently the station contains a high-level sheltered platform, but operates as a Sunday-Only station in 2006.

When Quogue Station was closed on March 16, 1998, Westhampton was one of the two stations that was used to replace it. The other was Hampton Bays.
