Officer railway station is located on the Pakenham line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Officer, opening on 4 August 1881 as Officer's Siding, and was renamed Officer on 13 February 1899. On 13 May 1956, a new station opened east of the original site.[1]

Flashing signals were provided at the nearby Station Street/Officer South Road level crossing in 1976.[2] Boom barriers have since been added to the level crossing.

In 2011/12, it was the 2nd least used station in Melbourne's metropolitan system, with 55,000 passenger movements.[3]
