Morris Park station is a planned passenger rail station on the New Haven Line of the Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line, to be located in Morris Park, Bronx. The station is planned to open in 2026 as part of the Penn Station Access project.

The station will be located at Morris Park Avenue adjacent to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with entrances from both sides of the tracks.[1] The Westchester station of the New Haven Railroad was located about 1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) to the south at Eastchester Avenue, while the Morris Park station was located further west at Paulding Avenue. A large freight yard was located on the south side of the tracks from Eastchester Avenue to Pelham Parkway.[2] The 1908-built Westchester station building, designed by Cass Gilbert, is no longer extant; the Morris Park station building survives.[3]

A 63-month design-build contract for the project was issued in December 2021.[4]
