Ascot Vale railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-western Melbourne suburb of Ascot Vale, opening on 1 November 1860, as part of the private Melbourne and Essendon Railway Company line to Essendon. The station closed with the line on 1 July 1864, but was reopened on 9 October 1871, under government ownership.

A temporary station building was provided in 1882, after duplication of the line, with the present building on Platform 1 dating from 1889. A signal box was provided in the same year, but was closed with the abolition of mechanical signalling.

Ascot Vale has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Craigieburn line services.
