Sylvia Park Railway Station is on the Eastern Line of the passenger rail network in Auckland, New Zealand. It serves Sylvia Park mall and the surrounding suburb of Mount Wellington.

Another station with the same name existed approximately 1 km west of this site. Passengers were mostly for the adjacent Westfield Freezing Works until 1986 when it was closed due to lack of patronage.
Transdev Auckland, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Britomart and Manukau via Sylvia Park. The basic weekday off-peak timetable is:
