Kiokio railway station was a flag station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand.
By December 1896 there was a shelter shed, platform, cart approach and a crossing loop for 4 wagons. By December 1911 a loading bank had been added and the loop extended for 7 wagons. In 1913 traffic at the station was described as, "rapidly increasing" and the Minister for Railways approved a goods shed 30 ft (9.1 m) by 20 ft (6.1 m) with a verandah over a new siding. A 1963 report said the station building was built in 1887 and last painted in 1960. It closed to passengers on Monday, 9 June 1969 and to all traffic on Sunday, 28 November 1971. There is now just a single track through the station site and, apart from the name of the road, little sign that there was ever a station.
