Belmont Park is a seasonal-use Long Island Rail Road station on the grounds of the Belmont Park racetrack in Elmont, New York. The station is open and train service is operated only during the Belmont Stakes. The station is a terminus of a spur line that lies south of and between the Queens Village and Bellerose stations on the Main Line/Hempstead Branch. In consistency with the names of other lines and branches of the LIRR, the spur line is called the Belmont Park Branch.

Unlike the rest of the track, the Belmont Park train station is part of a small sliver of Belmont property (including some parking) that crosses into Queens County. The racing complex is located in Nassau County. Also, unlike the rest of the LIRR system, the Belmont Park station is the only low-platform station, with permanently fixed steps installed to allow passengers to exit LIRR cars designed for high platform use.
