Frankston is a railway station located on Young Street in Frankston, Victoria, Australia. It is the terminus of the suburban Frankston railway line, however diesel railcar services extend to the greater metropolitan area on the Stony Point line beyond. It is a Zone 2 railway station with two platforms. As of October 2002, Frankston was one of 13 metropolitan stations to have Metcard barrier gates installed.

The station features briefly in the 1959 Hollywood movie On the Beach, however the old station building has since been replaced.
