An infill station (sometimes in-fill station) is a train station built on an existing passenger rail, rapid transit, or light rail line to address demand in a location between existing stations. Such stations take advantage of existing train service and encourage new riders by providing a more convenient location. Many older transit systems have widely spaced stations and can benefit from infill stations.{{Cite news

| quote = The advantages of infill stations result from the fact that people are simply more likely to use transit when they’re closer to it — and from the fact that the older transit systems in many cities have widely spaced stations that are under-serving potentially significant markets.

}} In some cases, new infill stations are built at sites where a station had once existed many years ago, for example the {{cta|Cermak–McCormick Place}} station on the Chicago 'L''s Green Line.
