Benalla railway station is a regional railway station on the North East line. It serves the town of Benalla, in Victoria, Australia. Benalla is a ground level part-time staffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 18 August 1873.
A goods shed and sidings are located to the west of the station, and a locomotive depot was formerly sited to the north. A turntable remains, and, until the broad gauge track was converted to standard gauge, it was occasionally used by steam locomotives.
To the north of the station, the Oaklands line branches off towards Yarrawonga. Benalla was also the junction of the closed Tatong branch line.
