Kilmore East railway station is a regional railway station on the Tocumwal line. It serves the town of the same name, in Victoria, Australia. Kilmore East is a ground level part-time staffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 18 April 1872.
Initially opened as Kilmore, the station was given its current name of Kilmore East on 1 October 1888.
The town of Kilmore is some distance to the west, at a much higher elevation, and was unable to be served directly by the main-line railway.
There is a disused goods shed at the station, as well as a staffed signal box. Approximately three kilometres (1.9 mi) in the down direction from the station is a siding which is used to load material from the Apex quarry.
