Malvern railway station is a commuter railway station that is part of the Melbourne railway network in Victoria, Australia. The station is located on the southern border of Malvern, a suburb of Melbourne, and was opened on 7 May 1879. The station complex consists of an island platform and two side platforms all accessed by a pedestrian bridge. There are two red brick Edwardian-era station buildings, constructed in 1914 as ticketing and staff offices. The entire complex is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register because of its architectural significance and its role in the development of Malvern as a significant metropolitan centre. The station is only partially accessible because of multiple steep access ramps.

Malvern railway station is served by the Frankston line, with limited services on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines. The station also connects to route 16 and 64 tram services. The journey to Flinders Street railway station is approximately 8.5 km (5.3 mi) and takes 15 minutes.
