Hunterspoint Avenue is a Long Island Rail Road train station within the City Terminal Zone. It is located at Hunters Point Avenue (49th Avenue) and Skillman Avenue in Long Island City, Queens. The station has an island platform and is not wheelchair accessible.

The station is served only during weekday rush hours in the peak direction (to Hunterspoint Avenue from Long Island in the morning, from Hunterspoint Avenue to Long Island in the evening). Trains are normally run through to and from the Oyster Bay, Montauk, or Port Jefferson Branches, with one Ronkonkoma-bound train also departs from Hunterspoint Avenue in the late afternoon. Some westbound trains continue to Long Island City, and some eastbound trains originate in Long Island City. The majority of service is provided by diesel trains. However, the trackage to the station from the east and west is electrified and one round-trip is provided by electric train service.

According to a New York Times article from May 1914, the station would have opened on July 1, 1914.[1]
