Marilao station is a former railway station located on the North Main LineinBulacan, Philippines. The station was once part of the line until its discontinuation in 1988.[1] It is currently being rebuilt as part of the first phase of the North–South Commuter Railway.[2][3] The new station will be linked to SM City Marilao.

The station was to be rebuilt as a part of the Northrail project, which involved the upgrading of the existing single track to an elevated dual-track system, converting the rail gauge from narrow gaugetostandard gauge, and linking Manila to MalolosinBulacan and further on to Angeles City, Clark Special Economic Zone and Clark International Airport.[6] The project commenced in 2007, but was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011.[7][8]
