Port Melbourne is a closed railway station in the Melbourne suburb of the same name located on the Port Melbourne line, the first significant railway in Australia.
The station was opened in 1854 to carry passengers arriving at Station Pier to Flinders Street Station. The station and railway line was closed in 1987 and converted to light rail, currently route 109. A low level platform has been built on the opposite side of the tracks to accommodate the trams.
The station building is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and is located north of Beach Street and to the east of Canberra Parade, having since been converted into a medical centre and cafe to serve the recent residential developments in the area.
