Stuyvesant station, also known as Stuyvesant Landing Depot, is a historic train station located in Stuyvesant, Columbia County, New York. It was built during the second half of 1880 after the original station was destroyed by a fire.[2] Mull & Fromer, Masons and Builders, of Catskill, New York, secured the contract to rebuild the station and E. Lampman was their carpenter.[3]

The station is a five bay brick building, 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, with a hipped roof. It features a molded and ornamented cornice and curved canopy. It was used along New York Central Railroad's Water Level Route and ceased to be used as a station in 1958.[4] A single Hudson–Albany commuter round trip continued to stop until the mid-1960s.[5][6][7]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as Stuyvesant Railroad Station.[1] A local farmers market is held at the station.[8]
