Creswick is a closed railway station on the Mildura railway line in Victoria, Australia. It is 137km (174km via Geelong) from Southern Cross station. A signal box, station building and goods shed exist at this station.
The present station building was built in 1874.
The junction for a branch line to Daylesford was about a mile north of Creswick at North Creswick station - this branch was constructed in the 1880s and operated until 1952 when it was cut back to Newlyn. This was further truncated to Allendale in 1976 and closed completely in 1985.
