Goldern Square is a closed station located in the southern Bendigo suburb of Golden Square on the Melbourne - Bendigo railway, Victoria, Australia. The station is on Maple Street, off High Steet in Golden Square, Bendigo.

The station was one of 35 closed to passenger traffic on October 4, 1981 as part of the "New Deal" timetable for country passengers.cite journal | year = 2006 | month = October | title = 'New Deal' for County Passengers - 25 years on | author = Scott Martin and Chris Banger | journal = Newsrail | publisher = Australian Railway Historical Society (Victorian Division) | pages = page 319 ]

Since around 1990 the Melbourne bound station building has been leased by a local radio station, while the smaller down side building has been leased in the past. In April 2008 renovations were carried out to the down side building, including re-stumping and replacement of weatherboards.cite journal | year = 2008 | month = September | title = Works | journal = Newsrail | publisher = Australian Railway Historical Society (Victorian Division) | pages = pages 278 - 282 ]
