Stratford railway station is a regional railway station on the Gippsland line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the town of Stratford, in Victoria, Australia, and opened on 8 November 1887. It was closed in August 1993 and reopened on 3 May 2004.
When Stratford opened, it was a temporary terminus of the line from Stratford Junction, a few kilometres to the west. On 8 May 1888, the line was extended to Bairnsdale.
Major signalling changes occurred at the station in 1986, including the abolition of the electric staff sections Sale - Stratford Junction and Stratford Junction - Stratford, which were replaced by the electric staff section Sale - Stratford, with an intermediate electric staff instrument provided at Stratford Junction. All signals and interlocking at Stratford Junction were abolished at that time.
Under the Kennett government, V/Line passenger services to Stratford were suspended in August 1993, when the line to Bairnsdale was closed. The passenger service was restored by the Backs government on 3 May 2004. The platform was lengthened by 39 metres in 2024.
As part of the Regional Rail Revival project to upgrade the Gippsland line, a new railway bridge was built over the Avon River, south of the station. It replaced the bridge which dated from 1888, on which train speeds had been restricted to 10 km/h for safety reasons. The new bridge was opened in December 2020.
Until their closure, Munro, Fernbank, Lindenow and Hillside stations were located between Stratford and Bairnsdale stations.
Stratford has one platform and is served by V/Line Bairnsdale line trains.
