Ringwood railway station is the junction station for the Lilydale and Belgrave lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Ringwood opening on 1 December 1882. It was upgraded to a Premium station on 31 July 1996.

The original signal box was located on platforms 1 and 2. It has since been relocated to the bus interchange. Signals are currently controlled from within the station building on platform 3. Stabling sidings are located at the northern end of the station.

Platform 1 is a recent addition to the station, being built in 1999. Prior to this the track on the now-platform 1 side was used as a siding which continued along to the Wantirna Road bridge.

As part of the Eastland Shopping centre stage 5 project, Ringwood was upgraded in 2015, with the $66 million upgrade to the station being completed in January 2016. The work included a new concourse, lifts, reconfigured bus interchange, CCTV and heritage work on the station buildings. The station buildings themselves were not significantly altered as they are heritage listed.

Eastland Shopping Centre is located opposite the station.

Ringwood has one island platform (platforms 1 & 2) and one side platform (platform 3) linked by the concourse. Platform 3 and the concourse feature customer service windows and platform 2 features a semi-enclosed waiting area with platform 3 and the concourse also featuring toilets and Platform 2 featuring a kiosk. All 3 platforms are accessible via ramps, stairs and lifts. The bus interchange is located outside platform 3.

Ringwood is serviced by Metro Trains' Lilydale and Belgrave line services.
