Lalor railway station is located on the South Morang line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Lalor, and opened in October 1949 as Rail Motor Stopping Place 77. It was renamed Lalor on 27 August 1952.

It was originally served by the Thomastown to Whittlesea AEC railmotor shuttle. In November 1959, the line from Reservoir was electrified, with the line beyond Lalor closed. In November 1964, the line beyond reopened as far as Epping, and also electrified.

Lalor station, like the suburb in which it is located, was originally pronounced /ˈlɔːlər/ (locally [ˈloːlə]), as it was named after Peter Lalor, and although some people still pronounce it as such, in recent times, the pronunciation /ˈleɪlɔːr/ or /-lər/ (locally [ˈlæɪloː, -lə]) has become predominant.
