Greensborough railway station is a commuter railway station on the Hurstbridge line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the north-eastern suburb of Greensborough, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Greensborough station is a ground level premium station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 5 June 1902, with the current station provided in 2023.[5]

Because of the curvature of the line, north-bound (Hurstbridge) services head south-east upon departing the station and, likewise, south-bound (Flinders Street) services head north-west. A number of peak-hour services to and from Flinders Street terminate at Greensborough.
