Lisle station serves as a commuter rail stop on Metra's BNSF Line in Lisle, Illinois, situated at 1000 Front Street, approximately from the eastern endpoint of the line at Union Station. In 2018, it was ranked the 10th most frequented among Metra's 236 stations outside downtown, averaging 1,895 boardings on weekdays. The station lies close to the Village Hall on Burlington Avenue and St. Joan of Arc School, with parking facilities available nearby, extending eastward to St. Joseph Creek Road and northward to Ogden Avenue. Although Amtrak trains travel through this location, they do not make stops here.

The original depot was constructed in 1864 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad but was rebuilt in 1874 following a fire that destroyed the initial building. The present-day station boasts a contemporary architectural style and includes a pedestrian underpass.

As of April 29, 2024, Lisle station is served by a total of 65 Metra trains on weekdays (30 inbound and 35 outbound), as well as all 36 trains operating on weekends and holidays (18 in each direction).
