Mont Albert railway station was a commuter railway station on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines, part of the Melbourne railway network. It served the eastern Melbourne suburb of Mont Albert in Victoria, Australia. Mont Albert was a ground level unstaffed station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It was located between Chatham and Surrey Hills and it opened on 11 August 1890 and closed on 17 February 2023, due to the works associated with the Level Crossing Removal Project.{{cite web|url=https://vicsig.net/infrastructure/location/Mont-Albert|title=Mont Albert|website=vicsig.net|access-date=29 April 2023|archive-date=29 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230429141601/https://vicsig.net/infrastructure/location/Mont-Albert|url-status=live}}
