Hawksburn railway station is a commuter railway station on the Frankston line, serving the south Melbourne suburb of South Yarra, Victoria, Australia.^[12] Hawksburn is an unstaffed status below ground structure station featuring four platforms, with an island platform and two side platforms all accessed by a pedestrian bridge.^[13] The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, and was opened on 7 May 1879, with the stations’ namesake being the locality of Hawksburn, 600 metres from the station. The station is only partially accessible due to multiple steep access ramps.^[14]

There are two principal station buildings, one of which is located on the stations central island platform (platforms 2 and 3) consisting of a small two story brick building, whilst the other is a one story brick structure situated on platform 4.^[15] These buildings were provided for the station in 1914, as ticketing and staff offices.^[14] Hawksburn is only served by the Frankston line, part of the Melbourne railway network, although Cranbourne and Pakenham lines do run through the station these services are express and do not stop. Hawksburn doesn’t have any transport connections unlike the majority of Melbourne train stations. The journey to Flinders Street railway station is approximately 5.3 kilometres (3.29 mi) and takes 9 minutes.^[16]
