Takanini Railway Station is on the Southern Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. The station has an island platform layout and is accessed from Manuroa Road, Station Road and Taka Street.

The station, originally known as Lupton's Crossing, was opened in October 1913. Goods services were closed on 29 April 1980.

A proposal was made by the former Papakura District Council to create a new station and Park and Ride facility at Glenora Road, next to the new Southgate shopping centre, to coincide with the new Addison residential development taking place on the former horse training track land.

In 2012 the Papakura Local Board requested a new station and park and ride be built at Walters Road. This proposal was listed in Auckland Transport's draft land transport plan.

Transdev Auckland, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Britomart, Papakura and Pukekohe via Takanini. Since 8 December 2014, the basic weekday off-peak timetable is:

Bus routes 365 and 371 serve Takanini Station, and routes 33 and 360X pass close by.
