Wyckoff is a railroad station in Wyckoff, New Jersey. It was built by the New Jersey Midland Railway around 1870[1][2] and later served passengers on the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad (NYS&W)[3] until service was abruptly curtailed in 1966. New Jersey Transit has considered the feasibility of restoring service.[4][5]

Other existing original station buildings from the NJ Midland era can be found at Vreeland Avenue, Wortendyke, Butler, and Newfoundland, among other places.[6]
