Hunterville railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand, serving the township of Hunterville.
Goods were first carried to the station on 19 October 1887, though the official opening of the 15 mi 57 ch (25.3 km) Marton to Hunterville section was not until Saturday 2 June 1888, when the station was served by two trains a week, reported as losing £15 a week. A Certificate of Inspection for the line was issued on Wednesday, 6 June 1888. Hunterville closed on 13 October 1986, though the passing loop was retained. A platform also remains.
