Te Aro railway station was a station in Wellington, New Zealand, near what is now the corner of Wakefield and Tory Streets. Opened in 1893[1] it was one of only three stations in the city - the other two were Wellington railway station on Featherston Street, renamed Lambton railway station in December 1908, which was the main New Zealand Railways Department station, and Thorndon railway station off Thorndon Quay, the southern terminus of the private Wellington and Manawatu Railway.[2]

Terminus of the short-lived Te Aro Extension of the Hutt Valley Line and Wairarapa Line it can also be regarded as a branch line. It was closed in 1917 and the rails lifted soon after.
