The Lafayette Street Terminal was a railroad train terminal on Broad Street in downtown Newark, New Jersey. It was operated by the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ). It became obsolete in 1967 when the Aldene Connection channeled passenger railroad traffic from the railroad's Communipaw Terminal in Jersey City to Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The CNJ had service going to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania over a line whose remnant is now the Raritan Valley Line. Additional service from this station was a line that followed the Raritan Valley Line, then branching southwest at Bound Brook, New Jersey and heading to West Trenton and southeastern Pennsylvania.
