Mitcham Railway Station is a railway station located on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Mitcham opening on 25 December 1882. It was upgraded to a Premium station on 4 April 1996.
As part of the grade separation project to replace the Mitcham Road and Rooks Road level crossings, the original station closed on 2 January 2014 and was replaced by a new below ground station that opened on 25 January 2014.
Until the 1970s, a shunting yard and goods shed existed where the southern car park exists today. Tracks remained embedded in the car park surface of that time, enabling parking for the great majority of the time when trains did not use the yard.
Mitcham has two side platforms with a concourse above on ground level. The concourse features a customer service window, an enclosed waiting room, toilets and a cafe. Access to the platforms is provided by stairs lifts and ramps. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Lilydale and Belgrave line services.
