List of railway stations in the Wellington Region

This is a list of railway stations in the Wellington Region, the local government region covering the southernmost portion of New Zealand's North Island. It includes all railway stations in the region with regularly scheduled passenger services.

The regional public transport service, Metlink, operates four electrified suburban services and the Wairarapa Connection, serving all stations in the region except . Two KiwiRail services, the Capital Connection and the Northern Explorer, also serve the region. All stations in the region are owned by Greater Wellington Regional Council except Wellington, which is owned by KiwiRail.

The first railway line in the region opened on 14 April 1874 between Wellington and Lower Hutt. Over the next two decades, two main railway lines were constructed from Wellington; the Wellington and Manawatu Railway, running north along the west coast through Porirua and the Kāpiti Coast, and the Wairarapa Line along the Hutt and Wairarapa valleys. The W&MR was later incorporated into the North Island Main Trunk route between Auckland and Wellington. These lines have both been rerouted substantially since, with the Johnsonville Branch and the Melling Branch being former alignments of these lines respectively. The present network takes a radial form centred on , with 49 stations in total.
