Hewlett is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Far Rockaway Branch in Hewlett, in Nassau County, New York, United States. The station is located at Franklin Avenue between Broadway and West Broadway, and is 19.5 miles (31.4 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan.

Hewlett Station was originally built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island as Cedar Grove Station in July 1869. This name would only last until October, when it was changed to Hewletts Station. In 1870, the station was replaced with a new building, that has remained intact ever since, making it the oldest railroad station on Long Island. A high-level sheltered platform was added at some point.
