Waverley Road was a railway station on the Outer Circle located near the modern East Malvern station in what is now the Malvern Urban Forest in Malvern East, Victoria, Australia. The platform, the mound of which can still be seen, was located approximately 120 metres SSE of the line's Waverley Road crossing. Named after the nearby road that crossed the tracks, the station was originally named 'Waverley' until altered in 1890.

The station was opened on March 3 1890 on the line from Burnley station to Oakleigh station, becoming a junction on May 30, 1890 when the line from Camberwell opened. It was a Staff and Ticket station on opening and was provided with a signal box of 28 levers. Two platforms were provided, with the junction of the two lines at the north (Camberwell) end, as was a goods siding.

The signal box was replaced with a signal frame on the platform in 1891 to save staffing costs. The station was closed along with the lines between Oakleigh, Ashburton station and Darling stations on December 9, 1895. The stub at Ashburton later became the Alamein line and the stub at Darling was extended as the Glen Waverley line.
