Bayside (earlier Bay Side) is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch in the Bayside section of Queens in New York City. The station is located at 213th Street and 41st Avenue, off Bell Boulevard and just north of Northern Boulevard, and is 12.6 miles (20.3 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. The station is part of CityTicket.

Bayside Station was originally built on October 27, 1866, by the Flushing and North Side Rail Road. The current station dates to 1924. The tracks were dug beneath Bell Boulevard in 1928. A freight elevator building was then opened on the eastbound side until the Port Washington Branch stopped carrying freight. The wooden pedestrian bridge that carried commuters across the tracks to both platforms was replaced in 1998 by a decorative steel bridge.

The station, along with the Port Washington line in general, is heavily used. During the 2005 New York City transit strike, the station had the distinction of being one of the few where trains actually stopped, bypassing lesser stations on the Port Washington branch such as Auburndale and Murray Hill.fact|date=January 2008
