Belgrave railway station is the terminus of the Belgrave line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Belgrave. The station was called Monbulk when it opened on 18 December 1900, but was renamed Belgrave on 21 November 1904. It was upgraded to a premium station on 2 July 1996.
The station was originally on the Upper Ferntree Gully – Gembrook narrow gauge line. It closed, along with the rest of the line, on 30 April 1954. After the line from Ferntree Gully to Belgrave was converted to broad gauge, the rebuilt station reopened on 19 February 1962. The new station was located further down the line than the original narrow-gauge station, which was approximately where the current station car park is located.
The Puffing Billy Railway's Belgrave station is located 100 metres north of the station and is accessible via a short footpath.
Belgrave has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Metro Trains' Belgrave line services.
