Maitland railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia.

It is mainly used to stable railway maintenance equipment, although each April is used as a depot for locomotives attending the Hunter Valley Steamfest.

On 27 July 2015, Maitland was the first station to receive a Regional Customer Support Centre covering the Central Coast, Hunter and North West areas of NSW.

Each April, Maitland station is the focal point for the Hunter Valley Steamfest, an event that has been held annually since 1986, with exception to 2020.

The Maitland station group is of high significance both as a complete unit, and for its individual elements.

The site is of additional interest with the relationship of the first class building to the alignment of platform 1 and the extended awning down to the realigned and lowered line which is unique in the railway system.

The number of platforms also indicate the importance of the site for changing trains and as a centre of commerce and the furthest link of the Newcastle commuter rail system.
