Kenilworth is a commuter railroad station in Kenilworth, Illinois, a small and affluent village in the North Shore area of suburban Chicago. Metra Union Pacific/North Line trains go south to Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and as far north as Kenosha, Wisconsin. In Metra's zone-based fare schedule, Kenilworth is in zone D.

The station is on Kenilworth Avenue between Green Bay Road and Richmond Road. Northbound trains stop on the west platform, and Chicago-bound trains stop on the east platform. Travel time to Ogilvie ranges from 28 minutes on express trains to 38 minutes on local trains. It is also across the street from the Kenilworth Village Hall, which has the Green Bay Bike Trail in the front yard.

The station was built in 1891 by the Chicago and North Western Railway to a design by architect Franklin Burnham of the firm Edbrooke and Burnham.[1]
