Prairie Crossing is a pair of Metra stations located in Libertyville, Illinois. They are serviced by the North Central Service and the Milwaukee District North Line. The station is 43.4 miles (69.8 km) away from Chicago Union Station via the North Central Service, and 39.8 miles (64.1 km) via the Milwaukee District North Line.[3] In Metra's zone-based fare system, both Prairie Crossing platforms are in zone 4.

The North Central Service station opened first, in 1996, along with the rest of the line. The Milwaukee District North Line platform opened as an infill station in 2004.[4] The two lines cross at an at-grade diamond northwest of the station. A connector track is present at the diamond.

The platforms are within walking distance of each other. As of 2018, the Milwaukee District North Line platform is considered to be the 128th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 368 weekday boardings.[2] The North Central Service platform is considered to be the 194th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 87 weekday boardings.[2]
