Tariki Railway Station, originally named Tariki Road, was a rural railway station on the Marton–New Plymouth Line in the Taranaki region of New Zealand, serving the small farming community of Tariki between Inglewood and Stratford. The station opened 17 December 1879 as part of the railway's extension south from Inglewood. Tariki remained in operation for nearly a century before closing to all traffic in 1977. The station building has been relocated and is now preserved.
