Upwey railway station is located on the Belgrave line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Upwey, and it opened on 3 June 1901.[1]

The station is a crossing loop in the middle of a six-kilometre section of single track between Ferntree Gully and Belgrave stations. The station was originally part of the Upper Ferntree GullyGembrook narrow-gauge line. The station, along with the rest of the line, closed on 30 April 1954. It reopened on 19 February 1962, when the line as far as Belgrave was converted to broad-gauge.[1] The current island platform was provided on 17 March 1964, when the present day Platform 2 was brought into use.[1]
