Winiata railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand. It was decorated with an archway when the 13+1⁄2 mi (21.7 km) Mangaweka to Taihape section was opened by the Prime Minister, Richard Seddon, on 21 November 1904.
Only a single track remains through the station site and there is little sign that there was ever a station there.
