Longwood station is a train station in Longwood, Florida, served by SunRail, the commuter train of Central Florida. The station opened May 1, 2014,[2] and marks a return of passenger rail service in Longwood dating back to the community's days as a junction of the South Florida Railroad, Orange Belt Railway and old Florida Midland Railway, all of which were acquired by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.

Unlike most SunRail stations, which are built with slanted white aluminum with green roofs, Longwood's shelters have traditional brown gabled roofs with cupolas and fake dormer windows. It also contains brickface sidings in the fence along the platforms. The station is located along the former SFR Main Line (now the CSX A-Line) northeast of the Longwood Historic District on the north side of East Church Avenue.
