Grafton Railway Station is a station on the Western Line of Auckland's commuter rail network. Costing $3 million to construct, it was officially opened on 9 April 2010, and the first trains stopped at the station on 11 April.

Grafton Station replaced the original Boston Road station and serves the Central Connector and sites like the Auckland Hospital and the future development on the Lion Brewery site,.

The station has four entrances, as its length extends under both Khyber Pass Road and Park Road, making stairs to all four sides of the roads possible. There is also a lift to Park Road, which also directly links the station to the Central Connector bus route on that road. One of the entrances is beside St Peter's College and students have direct access without having to crossing Khyber Pass Road. Up to a third of the St Peter's College's enrolment (i.e. 400 students) use the Grafton station in the morning and in the afternoon on school days.
