Kilmore East railway station is located on the Tocumwal line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Kilmore East, and opened on 18 April 1872 as Kilmore. It was renamed Kilmore East on 1 October 1888.[1][2]

The town of Kilmore is some distance to the west, at a much higher elevation, and was unable to be served directly by the main-line railway.

There is a disused goods shed at the station, as well as a staffed signal box.[3] Approximately three kilometres (1.9 mi) in the down direction from the station is a siding which is used to load material from the Apex quarry.
