The Bedford Hills Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Bedford Hills, New York, via the Harlem Line. It is 39.2 miles (63 km) from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time to Grand Central is one hour. It is located next to the downtown business district, which grew up around the station.

When the New York and Harlem Railroad was built though the community in 1847, Bedford Hills was known as Bedford Station. This name stood until 1910. The former station, influenced by the design queues of Henry Hobson Richardson and built by the New York Central Railroad in the late-19th century, stands aside the current one and, unusually for surviving NYC stations along the Harlem Line, still has its sign. But like many others, it has found new life as a home for local businesses.

This station is located in the Zone 6 Metro-North fare zone.

This station has one six-car-long high-level island platform serving trains in both directions.
