Te Kawa railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand,[2][3] located at Te Kawa.

The railway crossed 5,000 acres (2,000 ha)[4] (or 8,000) Te Kawa Swamp[5] to the north of the station on a 60 chains (4,000 ft; 1,200 m) embankment.

Culverts were included to maintain the effectiveness of eel weirs in the swamp[6] and provide for the flow of water.

[7] A post office was open by 1909 and a drainage board set up,[8] which was extended in 1915, by which time the station was handling traffic for Waikeria Prison.

[12] The line to the south of Te Kawa falls on a 1 in 183 gradient.
