Mornington railway station was located on Railway Grove, Mornington, Victoria, Australia. Its first train arrived on 10 September 1889 and the last one departed on 20 May 1981. In 1989, the old station site was sold by the state government and had a shopping centre built on the site. On 19 September 2004, a plaque was unveiled adjacent to the site to commemorate 150 years of rail in Victoria.
