Ormond railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It served the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Ormond opening on 19 December 1881 as North Road, being renamed Ormond on 1 September 1897.^[1]

In May 2014, the State Government announced a grade separation project to replace the North Road level crossing. The Level Crossing Removal Authority estimate a completion date of August 2016. This will involve the station being rebuilt.^[2] The station temporarily closed on 25 March 2016 to allow for it to be built below street level. The new station is scheduled to open in August 2016.
