The Merritt 7 Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the northern part of Norwalk, Connecticut via the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line. Merritt 7 is named for a nearby business park based at the intersection of the Merritt Parkway and United States Route 7. The station is the last regular stop in the Metro-North system outside of the Waterbury Branch and the Port Jervis Line to have a low-level platform. It is also one of the few stations in the system located at a grade crossing.

Merritt 7 is 45 miles from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from Grand Central is 74 minutes. The station opened on July 29, 1985.

Commuters make up the vast majority of riders using the station. The Connecticut Rail Commuter Council is a board created by the state to represent commuter's interests before Metro North and state officials.
