Shinnecock Hills was a rail station located along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and first opened around 1887 on the south side of the tracks, and closed in 1938.[1]

The name was revived for the former Southampton Campus station for the 2004 and 2018 U.S. Open at the nearby Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.[2]

The building was used as a U.S. Post Office and was a private residence as of 2013. In October 2013, it was dedicated as a Southampton Town Historic Landmark.[3]
