Ringwood railway station is a commuter railway station and the junction point for the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Ringwood in Victoria, Australia. Ringwood is a ground level premium station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform, connected by an accessible overground concourse. It opened on 1 December 1882, with the current station provided in 2016.[5]

The original single story brick station buildings, located on Platform 3, are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and today function as the ticket and staff offices. The station was reopened in January 2016 as part of a multimillion dollar redevelopment of the Eastland Shopping Centre, Ringwood Town Square and Railway Place.[6][7]
