Roslindale Village is a commuter rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Needham Line, located in the Roslindale Square business district of Roslindale, Massachusetts.

It was originally built by the Boston and Providence Railroad, and contained two station houses. Currently, it is located across the tracks from Roslindale Village/Roslindale Square itself, near the Boston School of Modern Languages, the Bay State Society of Model Engineers, and various local businesses. South Street runs into the parking lots on both sides of the tracks, but does not cross the tracks, although a very old pedestrian underpass allows the sidewalk to continue between these two stretches of South Street.

This station is fully wheelchair accessible.
