Carrum railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Carrum, opening on 1 August 1882.

A signal box is located on Platform 1, which controls a crossover to allow trains to terminate here. The interlocked frame at this signal box was abolished in 1976, replaced by a control panel, with boom barriers replacing interlocked gates at the level crossing, at up end of the station, in 1977. Approximately 100 metres south of the station is a stabling yard that can hold a number of trains. It was upgraded to a Premium station on 20 December 1995.

Additional shelters were added to the station in October 2015, along with an upgrade of the toilets on Platform 1.

Carrum has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Frankston line services.
