Lyngby Station opened on 1 October 1863 as the terminus of the first stage of Nordbanen. The small station building was designed by Vilhelm Carl Heinrich Wolf. The railway was extended to Helsingør in 1864. The Lyngby-Vedbæk Railway opened in 1890.
The first station building was demolished in connection with the introduction of double tracks between Hellerup and Holte. A new and larger station building, located a little to the south of the old one, was built in 1890–91 to design by Heinrich Wenck and Niels Peder Christian Holsøe.
The rail line was electrified and converted to S-train service in 1936. The terminus of the Lyngby-Vedbæk Railway was also moved to Jægersborg. The old station building was demolished in 1956.
