Paerātā railway station is a railway station under construction in Auckland, New Zealand. It is due to open in 2026 as part of the Auckland railway electrification project. It will serve the Paerata area, linking with the new Paerata Rise housing development. The station will be located on the existing North Island Main Trunk railway line, adjacent to the planned eastern extent of the development.
Between 1875 and 1972, it was a flag station, 28 mi (45 km) south of Auckland, on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand, serving the Paerata settlement.
The original station was opened on 20 May 1875. It was closed to passengers on 24 July 1972, and to all traffic on 1 October 1982. A crossing loop was retained.
In 1981, Paerata junction to the Waiuku Branch was re-designed and resignalled, with a new connection towards Pukekohe.
