Ormond railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Ormond, and it opened on 19 December 1881 as North Road. It was renamed Ormond on 1 September 1897.[2]

In 1922, the station was closed to goods traffic.[2] A siding at the station was also removed in the same year.[2]

Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former North Road level crossing, which was located at the Down end of the station, in 1968.[2] In 1974, all interlocking at the station was abolished.[2]

The Up face of the former ground level island platform was brought into use on 28 June 1987.[3]

In May 2014, the Victorian Government announced a grade separation project to remove the North Road level crossing, requiring the station to be rebuilt.[4] The station temporarily closed on 25 March 2016, to allow the station to be demolished and to be built below ground level. The new station opened on 29 August 2016.
