Leawarra railway station is located on the Stony Point line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Frankston, and opened in 1959 as Railway Stopping Place No 16. It was renamed Leawarra in 1962.
The platform was extended in 1988, to be able to hold a DRC railcar and an MTH carriage. However though, at 44 metres, it is the shortest platform on the VicTrack network.
The station also serves the Peninsula Campus of Monash University.
