Ginifer railway station is located on the Sunbury line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of St Albans, and opened on 31 October 1982.

The station was first announced in June 1977, by then Transport Minister, Joe Rafferty, and was originally scheduled for completion by late 1978. Originally to be named Furlong, after the nearby arterial, when opened it was named Ginifer, in honour of Jack Ginifer, a former local member of State Parliament.

In June 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced that the Furlong Road level crossing would be removed by grade separation, with Ginifer to be rebuilt below ground. Boom barriers were originally provided at this level crossing in 1984.

Ginifer has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Sunbury line services.
