Petone railway station is a dual platform, suburban railway station located in the Lower Hutt, New Zealand suburb of Petone. It is on the Hutt Valley section of the Wairarapa Line, 10.5 km (6.5 mi) north of Wellington, and is the junction for the Melling Branch to Melling, which diverges westward from the main line to the north of the station. The station is served by Metlink suburban services, operated by Transdev Wellington, to Wellington, Melling, Taita, Upper Hutt and Masterton.

The station has two side platforms, linked by a pedestrian subway to the south and a pedestrian overbridge to the north, which also links west over State Highway 2 to Pito-one Road. A small bus interchange connects buses from Maungaraki and Korokoro to trains to and from Wellington. Other facilities include two park and ride carparks, a ticket office, waiting room, and cycle storage.
