Little Neck is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch in the Little Neck section of Queens, the last station in the branch in New York City. The station is located at Little Neck Parkway and 39th Road, about half a mile (800 m) north of Northern Boulevard, and is 14.5 miles (23.3 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. The station house is unusual for this line in standing on the south (eastbound) side. The station is part of the CityTicket program, and is located in Zone 3.

Little Neck Parkway at the west end of the station crosses the line at the only at-grade railroad crossing on the Port Washington Branch. A pedestrian overpass, located at mid-platform, links the eastbound and westbound platforms. The original station house was built in 1870 by the Flushing and North Side Railroad, and replaced by another one in 1890. It is now located on a local street off of Northern Boulevard.
