South Melbourne is a light rail station on the former St Kilda railway line, and was located in the Melbourne suburb of South Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The station was adjacent to the intersection of Ferrars and Dorcas Streets, just minutes from South Melbourne Market. A pair of low-level side platforms, immediately north of the disused station, now serve route 96 trams on the light rail line, with a pedestrian crossing in between.
