Caulfield railway station is a commuter railway station on the northern boundary of Caulfield East, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[5] Opened in 1879 and rebuilt from 1913 to 1914, the station complex is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and is noted as an example of Federation Free Style architecture.[6] It is named after the nearby suburb of Caulfield, located southwest of the station.[7]

The station consists of an island platform and two side platforms, all accessed by a pedestrian underpass. There are three principal station buildings located on the platforms, including a small brick building located on Platform 1, near the main platform building. This building was provided in 1974 and originally served as a ticket office for the Caulfield Racecourse, which is directly adjacent.[8][9] The station complex also features a rare "horse platform" used when horses were delivered to the racecourse.[6][9] The station is only partially accessible due to a steep access ramp.[10]

Caulfield railway station is served by the Pakenham, Cranbourne, Frankston, and Gippsland lines, which are part of the Melbourne railway network.[5][11] The station also connects to the Route 3 tram service and routes 624 and 900 bus services.[12][13] The journey to Flinders Street railway station is approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) and takes 19 minutes.
