U.S. Route 1, midway between Alexander and Washington Roads West Windsor Township, New Jersey

Penns Neck was a former station of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in the Penns Neck neighborhood of West Windsor Township, New Jersey. It opened sometime between 1865 and 1875 as an intermediate stop on the Princeton Branch line, near its midpoint where it crossed the turnpike that is now U.S. Route 1.

Penn Central Transportation took over operations in 1968 and discontinued the little-used station in January 1971. The branch line, established in 1865, still provides frequent service between Princeton station (on the Princeton University campus) and Princeton Junction (on the Northeast Corridor), as part of NJ Transit Rail Operations.
