Warragul is major station on the Bairnsdale railway line line east of Melbourne serving the town of Warragul, Victoria, Australia. The station is located east of the Brandy Creek Road bridge.

Until the 1990s the station was the terminus of a number of 'short working' passenger services from Melbourne, operated by electric suburban trains. The overhead line were removed as part of the Regional Fast Rail project works and trains now travel on both tracks (Platform 1 & 2). Tracks in the former yard are now used as storage for concrete sleepers, old and new signals, and Rail machines. Tracks on the Melbourne side of the station have been moved, a little in order to reduce the track radius so trains can travel at top speed around that particular bend.
