Normanby railway station was a rural station on the Marton–New Plymouth line, located in the town of Normanby in Taranaki, New Zealand. Opened in 1881, it served the local community for over a century before closing in 1986. It was one of two railway stations in the area and should not be confused with the similarly named Normanby railway station near Timaru in the South Island.
