Agnes (originally Agnes River) was a railway station on the South Gippsland railway line in South Gippsland, Victoria.

The station was opened in 1892 and operated as Agnes River until 1 January 1906, when it was renamed to simply Agnes. It was then renamed Barry Beach Junction, after the opening of the line to Barry Beach servicing the oil fields in Bass Strait, before closing in 1981.
