Watsonia railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Watsonia, and opened on 23 June 1924.

The current station dates back to 1977, when this section of the line was lowered, to remove a number of level crossings, and the line duplicated between Macleod and Greensborough.

The present Greensborough Highway overpass, located at the Down end of the station, was provided in 1988/1989.

The station was upgraded to Premium station status in 2008.

Watsonia station is located in a deep cutting, between the Greensborough Highway and Watsonia Road. It has one island platform, with two faces, with access to the platforms provided by a ramp.
