Anzac railway station is a rapid transit railway station on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines, serving the Melbourne CBD in Victoria, Australia. When opened as part of the Metro Tunnel project, Anzac will be an underground premium station, featuring an island platform with two faces. The station will connect directly to the Anzac tram interchange at street level. Major construction commenced in April 2018, and was completed in September 2024, with minor finishing works to continue until its opening in 2025.[1][2]

Originally announced under the working title of Domain, after the nearby Kings Domain, following a naming competition the station was named Anzac for the nearby Shrine of Remembrance and in honour of the Anzac spirit of "service and sacrifice".[3] Construction on the station commenced in 2018 using the cut-and-cover method.[4][5] The station will provide a direct platform transfer to services on the busy tram corridor along St Kilda Road and will provide access to the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park.
