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

In May 2014, the Victorian Government announced a grade separation project to remove the North Road level crossing, requring the station to be rebuilt.[3] The station temporarily closed on 25 March 2016, to allow for it to be built below street level. The new station opened on 29 August 2016.

The Up face of the former ground level island platform was brought into use on 28 June 1987.[4]
