Eaglemont railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Eaglemont, and opened on 1 May 1926.

History

Opening on 1 May 1926, Eaglemont station, like the suburb itself, was named after Mount Eagle, a property that was acquired in 1838 by Thomas Walker, who went on to become a representative of the District of Port Phillip in the New South Wales Legislative Council between 1843 and 1845. Walker later sold the property to John Browne, father of author Rolf Boldrewood.

In 1949, the railway line between Ivanhoe and Heidelberg was duplicated. In 1979, the present station building on Platform 2 was provided.
