Caulfield railway station is located on the Pakenham, Cranbourne and Frankston lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Caulfield East, opening on 7 May 1879. In 2011/12, it was the 7th busiest station in Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 4.1 million passenger movements.

Contents

The station is located adjacent to the Caulfield campus of Monash University and Caulfield Racecourse. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

The small brick building on Platform 1, near the main platform building, was provided in 1974. It was originally provided as a race ticket office.

It was upgraded to a Premium station on 13 June 1996, although the enclosed waiting area and ticket facilities were built in 1993 as part of the 'Travel Safe' program.
