Ascot Vale railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-western Melbourne suburb of Ascot Vale, opening on 1 November 1860, as part of the private Melbourne and Essendon Railway Company line to Essendon.

A temporary station building was provided in 1882, after duplication of the line, with the present building on Platform 1 dating from 1889. A signal box was provided in the same year, but was closed with the abolition of mechanical signalling.[2]
