Puketutu was a flag station on the North Island Main Trunk line,[2] in the Waitomo District of New Zealand.

[5] The Public Works Department contracted the Te Kuiti to Mokau Station section on 9 March 1887 and it opened just over 2 years later.

[9] Lack of fencing to the south was an issue when the line opened, with many cattle killed and trains delayed.

In 1915 a Post Office started, run by station staff from 1941 to 1955 and then by a ganger until it closed on 10 December 1966.

[13] A 21 mi (34 km) branch line[14] down the Mokau valley to Piopio and Aria was surveyed, but rejected in a ballot (under the 1914 Local Railways Act) in 1922.
