Gowrie railway station is located on the Upfield line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburbs of Fawkner and Glenroy.

Following the reinstatement of a passenger service on the Fawkner - Somerton line in March 1928, Rail Motor Stopping Place 21 was opened at the location on 16 October 1928. It closed when the passenger service ceased on 5 May 1956. On 17 May 1965, Gowrie station opened, on what was by then the Upfield line. It was upgraded to a Premium station in 1998.

The track from Fawkner to Gowrie was duplicated in 1998. Immediately north of the station, the double track merges into a single track, which continues to the terminus at Upfield station.

Under the PTV Network Development Plan, the line between Gowrie and Upfield would be duplicated, and the line to Somerton reinstated. It would include a flyover over the North East standard gauge line, to allow Seymour V/Line services to run via Upfield, and eventual electrification of the line to Wallan.

Gowrie has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Upfield line services.
