Smart Road railway station was a small rural station on the Marton–New Plymouth line in Taranaki, New Zealand. Opened on 14 October 1875, it served both passenger and freight traffic until its closure on 5 April 1988, when it was replaced by a new freight terminal on the same site. The station played an important role in supporting the agricultural and industrial development of New Plymouth's eastern fringe.
