Mordialloc railway station is a commuter railway station on the Frankston line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Mordialloc, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Mordialloc station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 19 December 1881.[4][5]

Stabling facilities are located at the Frankston (down) end of the station, whilst a third track is located through the middle of station, normally only used by Qube's Long Island steel freight train, and trains shunting into the yard.[6] A pedestrian underpass is located at the up end of the station.

The station precinct itself has a number of heritage buildings and elements, including the cottage style historic station buildings (1882 and 1887), and the last remaining example of an Edwardian–style railway water tower (1910) in Victoria, also known as a "Type H" water tower.[7][8]
