Ivanhoe railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Ivanhoe, and it opened on 8 May 1888.[2]

Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Marshall Street level crossing, located nearby in the Down direction of the station, in 1960. The signal box was also abolished during this time.[2]

It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 21 June 1996.[3]

Ivanhoe has two side platforms. Platform 1 has a large red brick building, housing an enclosed waiting area, ticket facilities and toilets, while Platform 2 has a smaller red brick building. A footbridge is provided immediately west of the station buildings.
