Parwan is a closed station located near the town of Bacchus Marsh, on the Ararat railway line railway line in Victoria, Australia. The station platform was on the southern side of the line.
Opened soon after the line though it opened in 1886 as a crossing loop in the single track section, by 1890 Parwan had a platform, goods shed, a 20 lever interlocked signal box and a three road yard. In 1920 additional sidings had been added at the Melbourn e end of the station. A new station building was erected in 1948 along with a new signal frame.
In 1984 the station was closed as a crossing point, replaced by Parwan Loop at the Melbourne end of the station, but was not closed for passengers until some unknown time after. In 1987 the crossing loop was altered to be remotely controlled from Bacchus Marsh. As part of resignalling with the Regional Fast Rail project control was relocated to the Ballarat signal panel in 2005.
