Boronia railway station is located on the Belgrave line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Boronia, and it opened on 19 June 1920.[1]

The station was closed to all goods traffic on 19 December 1959.[1] It was rebuilt in 1985, and included new station buildings and passenger facilities, as well as an update to the bus terminal facilities.[2][3] It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 2 July 1996.[4]

As part of a grade separation project to remove the nearby Boronia Road level crossing, a new below ground station was built. The rebuilt station opened on 5 November 1998.[1]
