Hughesdale railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Hughesdale, and opened on 28 February 1925.

The station and suburb were named in honour of James Vincent Hughes, mayor of Oakleigh from 1924 to 1925, who, with the Poath Road Railway Station League, lobbied heavily for a new station for the area. Before the station was built, Hughesdale was the site of the junctions of both the Outer Circle and Rosstown railway lines with the Dandenong/Gippsland line.

The current station building was provided in 1977, after the former station building was destroyed by fire in 1975. The former station building was of a timber construction.

The Level Crossing Removal Authority has recently announced a grade separation project to replace the Poath Road level crossing immediately to the west of the station. This will include rebuilding of the railway station.

Hughesdale has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham and Cranbourne line services.
