Fielder Station is situated on the Puffing Billy Railway in Australia.
It opened on October 24, 1904, as part of the Gembrook railway line. It was originally an unnamed platform, with time tables noting a station at 38 miles. On February 5, 1928, it was named Fielder, after a local family. It consisted of only a mallee shed with small office and a name board.
When the Gembrook line was officially closed on April 30, 1954, the site fell into disrepair, and by the 1990s, little trace of Fielder remained. However, by that time, efforts were being made to extend the railway from Lakeside through to Gembrook, which would complete the entire length of the original line. In 1997, the descendants of the Fielder family rebuilt the platform and waiting shed in preparation for the extension of the line.
Trains do not normally stop at Fielder.
