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.
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.

Greensborough station was a single track, single platform train station built in 1902 for service to (at the time) the outer North Eastern suburb of Greensborough, Melbourne, Victoria. At the time of construction it was serviced by steam engines inbound and outbound from the Central Business District of Melbourne until the completion of the Hurstbridge line electrification to Greensborough in 1923.
