Philipse Manor station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, located in the Philipse Manor neighborhood of Sleepy Hollow, New York, United States.
Built around 1910 and opened on January 30, 1911, the Tudorbethan architecture of the station's original has earned it a listing on the National Register of Historic Places as an intact example of an early commuter rail station. It is the only station on the Hudson Line besides Poughkeepsie to be so recognized. The plot of land on which it was built had once been part of the vast Philipsburg Manor, which was confiscated at the end of the American Revolutionary War and auctioned off in parcels. That particular parcel went through several owners, from Rodrigo Curls, a Portuguese immigrant who used it for fishing, to Ambrose Kingsland, a wealthy merchant and politician who had a large country estate along this part of the Hudson River.
