Baddaginnie is a closed station located in the township of Baddaginnie, on the North East railway in Victoria, Australia. The station had a single platform to the west of the broad gauge line, with the standard gauge line running parallel to it.

The station opened on 19 June 1882 for goods, and on 3 July of that year for passenger traffic. A new platform, station building and goods shed were provided in 1908, and these remained until the 1960s, when it was rebuilt to allow the standard gauge line to run through the goods shed. The broad gauge crossing loop was extended and a new signal box was provided, along with a replacement goods siding and shed behind the platform.{{cite book
