Roxburgh Park railway station is a commuter railway station on the Craigieburn line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the northern suburb of Roxburgh Park, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Roxburgh Park station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 21 September 2007.[4][5]

It was built just north of the site of the former Somerton station, which was closed to passengers in 1960.[6] However, the adjacent goods yard and standard gauge crossing loop retain the Somerton name.

Roxburgh Park station was provided as part of the extension of electrified services from Broadmeadows to Craigieburn.[7] The Craigieburn-bound (down) line was slewed to the west, to permit an island platform to be built between the two tracks of the broad gauge main line.
