Beveridge is a closed railway station on the North East railway that served the township of Beveridge, Victoria, Australia.

The station opened on 14 October 1872. A goods shed was provided on opening, and was moved in 1885 to the down side of the line. The final station building was located on the down platform and was moved from Bright to replace the original in October 1900.

The station platform was extended in 1883, following the duplication of the line from Donnybrook, and a Melbourne-bound (up) platform was provided in the same year. Duplication continued northwards in 1886. The station was closed on 2 April 1990 and the platforms had been removed by February 1991. However, the platform mounds can still be seen, as well as the slew in the parallel standard gauge line which allowed it to pass behind the former up platform.

In 2016, it was announced that a station would be re-established at Beveridge, to serve a proposed new suburb that would accommodate up to 3500 dwellings and more than 10,000 people.
