Cedar Grove was the first/last commuter railroad station of the Erie Railroad's Caldwell Branch. Located on an overpass next to Route 23 in the borough of Cedar Grove, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. Service through Cedar Grove went west to Essex Fells station in the eponymous township and to the east to Great Notch station in Little Falls. At Great Notch, service connected to the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway, which provided connections to Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City until 1958 and Hoboken Terminal until 1966.

Service in Cedar Grove began with the construction of the Caldwell Railway in 1891. Service began on July 4, 1891 in the Cedar Grove area, then a section of Verona Township. As a result, the station was known as Cedar Grove Centre. When the borough of Cedar Grove forked from Verona Township, the name was changed to Cedar Grove. There also was a station on the New York and Greenwood Lake at Little Falls Road. Service ran until September 30, 1966, when the Erie Lackawanna Railroad terminated service.
