Auburn railway station is located on the Lilydale, Belgrave and Alamein lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn East, and it opened on 3 April 1882 as Auburn Road. It was renamed Auburn on 1 September 1882.[1]

The current two-storey station building dates back to 1916, when the line between Hawthorn and Camberwell was regraded. It features brick and stucco facades punctuated by arches, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[2]

In 1963, a third line was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell.[1] These works included a new Up platform (Platform 1), with Platform 2 becoming a bi-directional platform.[1]
