Lehigh Valley Railroad Station is a historic railway station located at Ithaca in Tompkins County, New York. The Passenger Station and Freight Station were designed by local architect A. B. Wood and built in 1898 by the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The Passenger Station is a Classical Revival structure with a Romanesque feeling. It is a massive square building with extensions and sheltering roofs for baggage operations. At one corner is the entrance marquee and a four sided street clock mounted in a Corinthian column. The main waiting room section has a hipped roof and features a pedimented porte cochere. The Freight Station is a long, gray painted frame building with a two story clapboarded section and a long freight storage part. It was used as a passenger station until 1961 and, in 1966, was converted for use as a restaurant. In 2012, the building is a branch office of Elmira's Chemung Canal Trust Company.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
