Jong Station (Norwegian: Jong holdeplass) was a railway station on the Drammen Line in Norway from 1931 to 1973.

It was opened in 1959. It served the neighborhood Jong west of Sandvika, mainly a residential area. It was located 14.42 km from Oslo V. When Slependen Station was moved 400 metres to the east in 1993, that new station was located only 420 metres from Jong. Hence, Jong was discontinued.
