Myrtleford railway station was located on the Bright line serving the town of Myrtleford in Victoria. It opened on 17 December 1883 as the terminus of the line. On 17 October 1890, the line was extended to Bright. On 30 November 1983 it again became the terminus when the line to Bright closed. It along with the rest of the line closed on 13 April 1987.
The station site is the only former station on the line to have been built over, with a retirement village constructed on the site in the 1990s. There is very little evidence of the former station with the exception of a large tree which was part of the station grounds.
