Cranbourne East is a proposed railway station on the Cranbourne railway line in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Cranbourne East, Victoria, Australia. To be the terminus of a short extension from the current Cranbourne terminus, the station is to be located west of Reynard Place and north of the Blue Hills retirement village and near the "Casey Complex". There is a proposed pedestrian underpass to built along with the station.

The station had been promised by the Australian Labor Party during the 1999 and 2002 state election campaigns,^[1] but was dumped in May 2006.^[2] In November 2003, a "Trainlink" bus service was introduced to meet each train at Cranbourne station and run to the suburb.^[3] The state government's Victorian Transport Plan, released in December 2008, listed the station and associated rail extension as "medium term" and would cost $200 million.^[4]
