Paerata railway station 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 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.
