Penrose Station is a railway station in Penrose, Auckland City, on the Southern Line of the Auckland railway network, New Zealand. It has an island platform and is reached by an over bridge from Station Road and Great South Road. It still has its original wooden station building on the platform. There is also an additional platform serving the Onehunga Line along Station Road. Passengers transferring between Southern Line and Onehunga Line services must use the over bridge to continue their journey.

In April 2011, the island platform was lengthened to accommodate longer suburban passenger trains, by raising the height of the platform around the old station building. On 28 April 2011, passenger trains started to stop under the station building shelter for the first time since 1993.

Penrose station is near Mt Smart Stadium, a major sports stadium.

Penrose is at the junction of the Onehunga Branch line with the North Auckland Line.
