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). On July 23, 1869, the Newark and New York Railroad opened as a short distance connector from downtown Newark to the CNJ's main Jersey City terminal. Three years later a connector south to the CNJ's Elizabethport station opened.
After a boat collision with the Hackensack Drawbridge service to Communipaw Terminal ended in 1946. It became obsolete in 1967 when the Aldene Connection channeled passenger railroad traffic away from the railroad's Communipaw Terminal to Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey.
