Pascoe Vale railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Pascoe Vale, and it opened on 10 November 1885.[2]

The station, like the suburb itself, was named after Pascoeville, a property owned by John Pascoe Fawkner, one of the founders of Melbourne.[3]

The railway past the site of Pascoe Vale station was opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to Wodonga.[4]

The original station building on Platform 1 was provided in 1886, but has since been replaced. A signal box was opened to control interlocked gates at the Gaffney Street level crossing,[5] until boom barriers replaced them in 1965.[2]
