Acacia railway station (also called as Malabon railway station) was a railway station of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) . It is located and situated adjacent to Gov. Pascual Avenue, Barangay Acacia in Malabon, Metro Manila.

Demolished during clearing operations in the 2000s for the ill-fated and renegotiated Northrail, PNR intends to restore the railway station here, despite no longer being a designated stop in the revised Northrail system. It will serve as the most recent expansion of the Caloocan-FTI line beyond Caloocan, and the first time in 2 decades that there will be rail activity.[1]

During September 2018, PNR engineers commenced the exploration of the site of the old Acacia railway station, and drafted plans to rebuild the dismantled rail lines there and set a target to reopen the service and station before the end of 2018.[2]

The rails that cover the radius of this station was dismantled and replaced with standard gauge tracks, which have also been dismantled for the NLEX Segment 10.1. Construction materials related to the NLEX Segment have been moved to make way for the restoration of the at-grade rails.
