Hautere railway station was a flag station[2] on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand.[3][4]

The Wellington-Manawatu Line was opened by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company (WMR) when the first through train from Wellington to Palmerston North ran on 30 November 1886.[5] Hautere was part of the Waikanae to Ōtaki contract, let to Messrs Wilkie and Wilson.[6] The station wasn't in the February 1887 timetable,[7] but had opened by December 1887, when WMR was selling nearby land[8][9] and was in an 1888 timetable.[10] By 1895 it was only a siding for goods traffic, with a sawmill. On 3 February 1900 it was reported as closed.[11]

Only a single track now passes through the station site.[12]
