Te Akeake railway station is a station on the Opua Branch in New Zealand.
The station, sometimes named Teakeake, opened after an application for a stopping place, 1.5 mi (2.4 km) from Taumarere, was made on 7 July 1888. About 1898, after an "application from natives", on 28 December 1893, a shelter shed and platform were built. It closed on 14 August 1931 and remained closed, when the platform was moved north from 3 mi 63 ch (6.1 km) from Kawakawa, by about 900 m (980 yd). The repositioned station reopened in December 2022 as a new terminal for the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway (BoIVR).
