Mooroolbark railway station is a commuter railway station on the Lilydale line, part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Mooroolbark in Victoria, Australia. Mooroolbark is an elevated premium station, featuring an island platform with two faces. It opened on 10 October 1887 with the current station provided in 2021.

The current rail-over-road Mooroolbark station structure was opened on 19 November 2021, as part of railway redevelopment works, including the Level Crossing Removal Project.[4] A crossover is located at the up end of the station, which allows services to terminate and return. Mooroolbark also marks the end of the double track on the Lilydale line.
