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. On July 23, 1869, the Newark and New York Railroad opened as a short distance connector from central Newark to the CNJ's main Jersey City terminal in 1869. Three years later a connector south to the CNJ's Elizabethport station opened.
