Mentone railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Mentone, and opened on 19 December 1881. It was renamed Balcombe on 1 September 1882, and renamed Mentone on 7 January 1884.[1] It is classed as a Premium Station, upgraded from Host Station status in 2008. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[2]

A number of sidings and a head shunt were removed at the station in late 1984/early 1985.[3] A former siding also existed until the 1940s, running across Station Street to a timber yard.[3]

As part of the Bayside Rail Project, new exits and Myki readers were added at the Frankston end of platform 2.
