Lake Hopatcong Station is a New Jersey Transit station in the Landing section of Roxbury Township, New Jersey. Both the Morristown Line and the Montclair-Boonton Line serve this station, with service to Hoboken Terminal. Connections are available to New York Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan via Midtown Direct. This station is located at the intersection of Landing Road and Lakeside Boulevard (County Routes 631 and 602).

The station was constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad and opened in 1911. It was the station that marked the connection beween the old DL&W main line and the new "Cutoff" and served both routes. Originally built with four tracks, the NJ Transit main line now has two tracks. The 1911 station building is currently closed and hosts a local retail store. Parking (96 spaces) is under the Landing Road (Morris County Route 631) overpass.

This station has been also known as "Landing", "Hopatcong", "Lake Hopatcong-Mount Arlington", "Hopatcong-Landing" and "Lake Hopatcong-Stanhope".
