Parkdale railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Parkdale, and it opened on 1 September 1919.[2][3]

A disused signal box is located at the Frankston (Down) end of Platform 1.

Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Parkers Road level crossing, located at the Down end of the station, in 1986.[2] The signal box was also abolished in the same year.[2]

On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the level crossing will be grade separated by 2025.[4] The project will involve building a rail bridge over the road, and will include a new, rebuilt station.[5]
