McKinnon railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of McKinnon and opened on 1 September 1884 as McKinnon Road. It was renamed McKinnon on 14 December 1885.[1]

In the morning peak hour, Frankston-bound services use Platform 3 with Flinders Street-bound trains using Platforms 1 and 2. At other times Frankston-bound trains call at Platform 2.

In May 2015, the State Government announced a grade separation project to replace the McKinnon Road level crossing immediately south of the station. This will include rebuilding the station.[2]
