Tenafly Station, located in Tenafly, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 1979.

The station was a stop along Erie Railroad's suburban Northern Branch (NRRNJ)[4] which terminated at Pavonia Terminal on the Hudson River. It stopped being used for passenger rail transport in 1966, by which time trains had been redirected to Hoboken Terminal. The rail line is still used for freight transport by CSX.

The Northern Branch Corridor Project is a proposed New Jersey Transit project to extend the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail along the line, restoring service to the landmark and other stations along the route.[5] In a non-binding referendum in January 2011, citizens of Tenafly rejected the idea of the town being the northern terminus of the project.[6][7]
