Kooyong railway station is located on the Glen Waverley line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Kooyong, and it opened on 24 March 1890.

History

Kooyong station opened on 24 March 1890, when the railway line from Burnley was extended to Eastmalvern. The station was originally named North Malvern, but was renamed soon after opening, amid fears regarding the name's similarity to North Melbourne. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after an Indigenous word meaning either 'camp', 'resting place' or 'haunt of the wild fowl'.

In 1955, the line between Kooyong and Gardiner was duplicated, with duplication to Heyington occurring in 1957.

A signal box is located at the up end of Platform 2, to control the Glenferrie Road tramway crossing. In 1985, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at this crossing.
