Tenafly is a former railroad station located in Tenafly, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The station was a stop along Erie Railroad's suburban Northern Branch (NRRNJ)[1] 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.[8] In a non-binding referendum in January 2011, citizens of Tenafly rejected the idea of the town being the northern terminus of the project.[9] Completed in 1874, the station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 1979, for its significance in architecture, commerce, social history, and transportation. It was designed by Daniel Topping Atwood, an architect from New York City.[10]

The station building currently houses a restaurant.[11]

On May 18, 2024, it was officially renamed as **Elizabeth Cady Stanton Railroad Station**
