Muckleford is a railway station on the Maldon branch line off the main Echuca, Swan Hill lines in Victoria, Australia. The station was originally opened on 16 June 1884 and was closed to passenger services on 6 January 1941.[1] After this date, the line was used only for goods traffic until closure on 3 December 1976.[2]

Muckleford station was opened for tourist services in 1996 after the section of line between Maldon and Muckleford had been restored. This tourism train service will usually begin from Maldon, proceed through the surrounding bushland areas into Muckleford, and then enter Castlemaine from the west.
