Bardonia was a station on the Erie Railroad in Bardonia, New York. It was originally built along the New Jersey and New York Railroad's New City Branch, which was later incorporated into the Erie Railroad system. Rather than construct a station at Bardonia, the railroad rented a local entrepreneur's three-story general store for $50$60 (1916 USD).

Both pedestrian and freight service ended on the New City Branch in 1939, and the tracks were removed soon thereafter. The old station house remained intact near the corner of Bardonia Road and NY 304 until 2014, when it was demolished and replaced by a CVS Pharmacy.
