Kahauiki station (also known as the Middle Street–Kalihi Transit Center) is an under construction Skyline station in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. It is being built as part of the second phase of the Skyline route, scheduled to open in Summer 2025.

The Hawaiian Station Name Working Group proposed Hawaiian names for the twelve rail stations on the eastern end of the rail system (stations in the Airport and City Center segments) in April 2019.[1] [2] The Hawaiian name for this station, "Kahauiki" (or "Hauiki), means "the little hau/hibiscus tree" and refers to an ahupuaʻa bounded by the Kalihi ahupuaʻa (to the east) and the Moanalua ahupuaʻa (to the west).[3]
