Takaanini railway station, officially spelt Takanini, is on the Southern Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. The station has an island platform layout and is accessed from Manuroa Road, Station Road and Taka Street in the Takanini suburb of Auckland.
The railway through Takaanini was opened on 20 May 1875, as part of the Auckland and Mercer Railway, built by Brogden & Co, who extended it from Penrose.
The station, originally known as Lupton's Crossing, was opened on 9 October 1913. Goods services were closed on 29 April 1980.
On 19 October 2018, Auckland Transport changed the station's signage to Takaanini in line with Auckland Council's MÃÂori language policy to reflect the correct spelling of Ihaka Wirihana Takaanini after whom the area is named. Auckland Transport supported a proposal to officially alter the name to Takaanini but this proposal was rejected and the official name remains Takanini.
As part of the Level Crossing Removal Programme, a pedestrian bridge and 3 lifts are being constructed at the station. Construction commenced in September 2025 and is due for completion in mid-2026.
Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Britomart and Pukekohe via Takaanini. Since 3 February 2025, the basic weekday off-peak timetable is:
