48th Police Precinct Station is a historic police station located at 1925 Bathgate Avenue in the Tremont neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City. It was completed in 1901 and is a freestanding, three story rectangular block, seven bays wide. The facades are composed of yellow brick with stone trim in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was the scene of the arrest of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker for the murder of gambler Herman Rosenthal at 8:30 PM on the evening of July 29, 1912.

It was formerly used by the New York City Police Department, but ceased use as a police station in the 1970s.[2] As of June 2010, it was occupied by Sharon Baptist Headstart.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
