Parliament railway station is a commuter railway station on the Burnley, Caulfield, Clifton Hill and Northern group lines, serving the Melbourne CBD and the suburb of East Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Parliament is an underground premium station on the City Loop, featuring four platforms, two island platforms on two floors connected to street level via two underground concourses. It opened on 24 January 1981.[5]

Parliament station opened in 1983, and it was named after the Parliament House, which is located just east of the station.[6][7] During the station's construction, the platforms of the station were built through tunneling.[1] When the station opened, it had the longest escalator in the Southern Hemisphere but, in 2022, the escalators at Airport Central station in Perth exceeded that.[8][9][10]

Parliament is one of the three underground stations on the City Loop, which is served by eleven lines organised into four groups. The station is also served by two tram routes on Bourke Street, four tram routes on Macarthur Street, and three tram routes on Spring Street.
