Eliot Street railway station was a suburban railway station in New Zealand on the Marton–New Plymouth line and the first station leaving New Plymouth. Serving the people of East End, it lasted for 32 years before being replaced by Fitzroy station when the railway line was diverted. The station's history was strongly linked to that of the original railway route out of the city.
