Woodmere is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Far Rockaway Branch in Woodmere, in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, New York, United States. The station is located at Woodmere Boulevard and Cedar Lane, between Central Avenue and West Broadway, and is 20.1 miles (32.3 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan.

Woodmere Station was originally built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island in 1869. Depending on the source, it was established in either July or October. Either way, it was originally listed on SSRRLI's timetable as "Wood's Station," then "Woodsburgh" before being given it's current name.

The second depot was built in 1902, and was electrified with the rest of the line three years later. Covered platforms were removed with the installation of high-level platforms sometime around 1968.
