Oakleigh railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Oakleigh, opening on 8 October 1877.

Contents

The station was once the eastern end of both the Outer Circle line and the Rosstown Railway. In 1975, the signal box was provided with a route setting power interlocking system, which also included the demolition of signalbox A.

The former goods yard was last used in October 1984, with the operations of the yard moved to Westall. The overhead in siding A was removed by December of the same year, along with the points and the majority of the sidings.

It was upgraded to a Premium station on 12 December 1995.

Since 1989, the station has featured over 40 plywood cut-outs on its walls and surrounding the station. These illustrate the life-stories of Oakleigh residents, who were aged between 15 and 70, when the murals were unveiled in September 1989. They underwent restoration in 2002.
