Auburndale is a station in the Auburndale neighborhood of Queens in New York City on the Port Washington Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. The station is part of CityTicket. The station is on 192nd Street between Station Road and 39th Avenue, three blocks north of Northern Boulevard and is 11.7 miles (18.8 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan.

Auburndale Station was originally built in 1901, the year the community itself was developed. The original station house was sold and converted into an Episcopal Church on 42nd Avenue and Utopia Parkway when a new elevated station was built in 1930. This church closed in 1973. The elevated platform was renovated between 2004 and 2005.
