Beaufort railway station is located on the Serviceton line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Beaufort, and opened on 11 August 1874, as the temporary terminus of the line from Ballarat. On 7 April 1875, the line was extended to Ararat. It was disestablished as a staff station on 14 September 1988, with the signal box abolished. The electric staff sections Trawalla - Beaufort and Beaufort - Buangor were also abolished, replaced with the electric staff section Trawalla - Buangor. The station closed on 27 May 1994, but reopened on 11 July 2004, when passenger services to Ararat resumed.

The former station building was converted into a community arts centre in October 2014, whilst the former goods shed is currently used as a steam-era museum.

Disused stations Burrumbeet and Trawalla are located between Beaufort and Wendouree, while disused Buangor is located between Beaufort and Ararat.

Beaufort has one platform. It is serviced by V/Line Ararat line services.
