Nyora is a railway station on the former South Gippsland line in South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.

The station was also formerly used as the northern terminus of the South Gippsland Tourist railway, after passenger operations on the line ceased beyond Cranbourne station in 1993.

The station itself and outbuildings were restored, albeit with a few changes, by the volunteers of the South Gippsland Railway. This included painting, general repairs, and reinstatement of the floor in the main room, to form a public meeting and exhibition space. Since the Tourist Railway ceased operations in 2015, the station has become neglected, despite the opening of the Nyora to Loch section of the Great Southern Rail Trail in 2023.

The station contains a nearly fully operational turntable. Nyora was the final station on the line from Melbourne before the Wonthaggi line branched off from the main South Gippsland (Port Albert / Woodside) line.

Tourist train services to Nyora recommenced in January 2008, following a closure of the line from Loch for several years due to re-alignment works to the South Gippsland Highway including the Loch Bypass. However, these services have ceased with the extension of the railtrail.
