Woodbridge is a train station in Woodbridge, New Jersey, United States. It is one of three NJT stations in Woodbridge, the others being Avenel and Metropark in the Iselin section of the township. The station was built in 1939 as a Depression-era public works project. It currently serves about 1,700 riders a day, making it one of the busiest stations on the North Jersey Coast Line.

Station renovation began in 2005 on a new platform and canopy and was completed in 2007. Improvements on the new platform include additional canopy space to provide more shelter, ADA-compliant restrooms and new wind shelters with push-button heaters.
