Werribee Racecourse is a disused station located between Werribee and Little River stations in Melbourne, Australia. The station was to serve the nearby Werribee Racecourse. Although not electrified, it was originally planned to be part of the electrified system when overhead was extended to Werribee in the 1980s. The overhead staunchions got built as far as the station but were never wired. The station has been disused since 1995 when the Western SG line was built, making it impossible to access the station without crossing the SG track. There have been calls to extend the overhead to the station to the serve the growing areas west of Werribee.
