Feilding railway station was a station on the Foxton Branch in Feilding, New Zealand. It was opened on 1 October 1876 and closed on 1 July 2002.[1]

Feilding had hoped to be the junction of the North Island Main Trunk and the Marton–New Plymouth line so had made Kimbolton Road exceptionally wide, but that honour went to Marton and Longburn.[2]
