Station Ter Aar (afkorting:Ta) is een voormalig spoorwegstation aan de spoorlijn Nieuwveen – Ter Aar. In tegenstelling tot de naam lag het niet bij Ter Aar, maar bij Papenveer. Het station werd geopend op 2 januari 1918 en gesloten op 1 januari 1936.
Het station werd gebouwd voor vervoer van groenten van de groenteveiling richting binnen- en buitenland.
Het stationsgebouw dateert van 1913. Het gebouw wijkt veel af van de meeste stationsgebouwen van de HESM. Tegenwoordig is het pand als woonhuis ingericht. (source: wiki)
