Collingwood railway station is a commuter railway station on the Mernda and Hurstbridge lines, which are part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the north-eastern suburb of Abbotsford, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Collingwood station is an elevated structure unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 21 October 1901, with the current station provided in 1987.[4]

Initially opened as Collingwood Town Hall, the station was given its current name of Collingwood on 1 May 1909.[4]
