Melton Viaduct is a railway viaduct south west of the city of Melton in Victoria, Australia. The 357-metre (1,171 ft) viaduct carries the Serviceton railway line over the valley of the Werribee River, now dammed to create Melton Reservoir.[1] The girder and trestle viaduct was built in 1885 by Victorian Railways to establish a direct rail route between the cities of Melbourne and Ballarat.[1]

The viaduct was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register in 2013.[1]
