Clayton railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Clayton opening on 6 January 1880 as Clayton's Road, being renamed Clayton on 6 July 1891.[2] It was upgraded to a Premium station in 1998.[3]

In March 2014, the State Government announced a grade separation project to replace the Clayton and Centre Road level crossings on either side of the station. This included the station.[4]

The rebuilt station was opened in April 2018. It is above ground along one of the three the sections of elevated rail that was built along the Pakenham-Crossing line to replace the level crossings as part of the Victorian Level Crossing Removal projects. The station is accessible by escalator, lift and stairs.[5]
