Dandenong railway station is a commuter, regional railway station and the junction point of the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, which are both part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Dandenong, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Dandenong station is a ground level premium station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 8 October 1877, with the current station provided in 1995.[4]

A number of train stabling sidings are located near the station, including to the north of the station on either side of the railway line, as well as parallel to the platforms. A little-used goods yard was once located to the south of the station.[4]

The disused General Motors station was situated between Dandenong and Hallam.
