Glen Iris railway station is a commuter railway station in Glen Iris, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[3] The station opened on 24 March 1890 as part of the branch line from Burnley to Waverley Road station.[4] The station consists of one island platform accessed by a pedestrian underpass. There is one principal station building located towards the Down end of the platform.[5] The single-story building, constructed in 1975 as part of the station's rebuild, acts as a shelter and has toilet facilities.[5] The station is only partially accessible due to steep access ramps.[6]

Glen Iris railway station is served by the Glen Waverley line, part of the Melbourne railway network.[7] The station also connects to the route 6 tram service and the routes 612 and 734 bus services as well.[8][9][10] The journey to Southern Cross railway station is approximately 11.52 kilometres (7.16 mi) and takes 25 minutes.[4]
