Geelong Racecourse (commonly known as Breakwater) is a railway station on the Geelong railway line in South Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The station is only used for special events at the nearby Geelong Racecourse.
Recently calls have been made to reinstate the station into regular service by both locals and the Geelong Racing Club, who originally paid £1000 in 1906 to have the station built. If this was to happen it would fill a sizeable gap in service areas for the Geelong rail area, with the next nearest stations being South Geelong and Marshall.
