Greensborough railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Greensborough, and opened on 5 June 1902. It was upgraded to a Premium station on 21 June 1996.
Because of the curvature of the line, northbound (Hurstbridge) bound services head south-east upon departing the station, and, likewise, southbound (Flinders Street) bound services head north-west.
Just past the station, the double track becomes single, for the remainder of the journey to Hurstbridge. A number of peak hour services to and from Flinders Street terminate at Greensborough.
A former goods yard existed at the Up end of the station. The yard was removed during duplication of the line, between Watsonia and Greensborough, in the late 1970s.
Greensborough has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Hurstbridge line services. The direction of trains passing each other is unusual for Melbourne, with trains passing on the left. During peak periods, both platforms are used by trains travelling in either direction.

Dyson's Bus Services operates five routes via Greensborough station:
