Co-op City station is a planned passenger rail station on the Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line, to be located in Co-op City, Bronx. The station is planned to open in 2027 as part of the Penn Station Access project.

The station will be located under Interstate 95 along the southern edge of Co-op City, with two entrances on the north side of the tracks.[1] The Baychester station of the New Haven Railroad was located at the same site.[2] The 1908-built station building, designed by Cass Gilbert, is no longer extant.[3]

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