New York State Fair is a conditional Amtrak station serving the New York State Fairground in Syracuse, New York. It is served by Amtrak's Empire Service as well as the Maple Leaf, and is only open when the fair is in operation.

The station was suggested by local engineer Frankie Flave in a 1994 letter to then Amtrak president Tom Downs who agreed that it was a good idea. It contains an unsheltered platform, and a separate shelter, all of which are in the vicinity of the southwest corner of the fairgrounds.^[1] The platform is loaded between two sidetracks on the north side of the former New York Central Railroad Water Level Route, one of which is partially abandoned.
