Leawarra railway station is located on the Stony Point line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Frankston, and opened in 1959 as Railway Stopping Place No 16. It was renamed Leawarra in 1962.^[1]

The platform was extended in 1988, to be able to hold a DRC railcar and an MTH carriage.^[2] However though, at 44 metres, it is the shortest platform on the VicTrack network.

The station also serves the Peninsula Campus of Monash University.

Langwarrin, a closed station on the Stony Point line, was located between Leawarra and Baxter stations.^[3]
