Lethbridge Railway Station is a railway station on the Geelong-Ballarat railway line located in the township of Lethbridge, Victoria, Australia. It was built in 1862 by contractors John Campbell and Co.[1] Currently, only freight trains pass the station, as the V/Line passenger trains have been replaced by a bus service.[1]

While the main bluestone station building is currently boarded up, as per VicTrack's 'Community use of vacant rail buildings' program, the historic building will be restored into a multi-purpose community arts and cultural hub.[2][3] This project has been in the works for many years and construction is scheduled to be completed or underway by the end of 2023.[4]
