Eaglehawk railway station is located on the Piangil line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-western Bendigo suburb of Eaglehawk, and it opened on 19 September 1876.[1]

A pedestrian subway once existed at the up end of the station, until it was filled in and replaced with a pedestrian crossing in 1967.[1]

The Eaglehawk–Kerang electric staff section was replaced with staff and ticket in 1987.[2] In 1989, the signal box, interlocking and goods yard at the station was abolished.[1] A former goods shed and a small disused platform is located opposite the station.

In 2020, the station underwent a refurbishment, including new car park spaces and drop-off zones, an upgraded forecourt and an extension to the platform at the up end of the station.[3]

Located approximately 1 km west of the station is the junction of the Piangil line and the disused Eaglehawk–Inglewood line.
