Te Kauwhata was a flag station on the North Island Main Trunk line, in the Waikato District of New Zealand, 54 mi (87 km) south of Auckland.

[4] Initially the station served a state experimental farm, but, from 1912, Te Kauwhata township was created.

[10] Track doubling to ease congestion had been authorised in 1914,[11] but work was delayed by the war.

[16] Passenger numbers peaked in 1944, as shown in the graph and table below - A 2018 report to Waikato Regional Council suggested reopening in 2023, as the station has 3 tracks and "Te Kauwhata was considered to be the easiest of these stations to reactivate", the main work being raising the platform.

[18] In 2020 reopening of the platform was put forward as a COVID-19 recovery scheme, at an estimated cost of $10m.
