Ormond railway station is located on the Frankston line, in Victoria, Australia. It served the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Ormond, and opened on 19 December 1881 as North Road. It was renamed Ormond on 1 September 1897.
In May 2014, the Victorian State Government announced a grade separation project, to replace the North Road level crossing. The Level Crossing Removal Authority estimate a completion date of August 2016. This involved the station being rebuilt. The station temporarily closed on 25 March 2016, to allow for it to be built below street level. The new station opened on August 29, 2016.
The Up face of the former ground level island platform was brought into use on 28 June 1987.
Ormond has three platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Frankston line services. In the morning peak hour, Frankston bound services utilised Platform 3, with Flinders Street bound trains utilising Platforms 1 and 2. At other times, Frankston bound trains use Platform 2.
