Berkeley is a Metra commuter railroad station in Berkeley, a western suburb of Chicago. It is served by the Union Pacific/West Line, and lies 14.3 miles (23.0 km) from the eastern terminus. Trains go east to Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and as far west as Elburn, Illinois. Travel time to Ogilvie is 29 to 36 minutes, depending on the service.

The station is at Park Avenue and Arthur Avenue. To the south there is a parking lot and a residential neighborhood of single-family homes. A large industrial estate that houses the Proviso Yard of Union Pacific Railroad sits to the north. Immediately to the west there is a highway overpass that carries Interstate 294 over the freight yard. Berkeley Village Hall is on Electric Avenue, about a mile to the south.
