Telarah is a railway station on the North Coast Line branch of CityRail's Hunter Line in New South Wales, Australia. It has been given the nickname of 'the Rah' by its locals, the name originated from indigenous language, or from the Welsh word for pit pony[citation needed]. It serves Telarah, (formally called Homeville), one of the suburbs of the city of Maitland.[1]

Diesel railcars travelling between Newcastle and the town of Dungog service the station. The majority of Hunter line services operate to, and terminate at Telarah Station.

The station has a single platform, and the main North Coast line past the station to Brisbane is single track.
