Maynooth Station is a community in the Canadian province of Ontario, located in the municipality of Hastings Highlands, 2 kilometers east of Maynooth and about 50 meters south of Highway 62. Maynooth Station was a railway station on the Canadian National Railways, originally established in 1907 by the Central Ontario Railway to serve the Maynooth area, later acquired by Canadian Northern Railway and CNR. A few residences are located near the station, making the community of Maynooth Station, uniquely separate from Maynooth.

This section of railway was abandoned in 1984. Maynooth Station was 15.83 rail miles north of Bancroft and 7.91 miles by rail, northward to Lake St. Peter, and 15.87 miles to end of track.
