Parkville railway station is an under-construction rapid transit railway station on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines, serving the inner-northern Melbourne suburb of Parkville in Victoria, Australia. When opened as part of the Metro Tunnel project, Parkville will be an underground premium station, featuring an island platform with two faces. Major construction commenced in April 2018, and was completed in May 2024, with minor finishing works to continue until its opening in 2025.

Parkville has been built below Grattan Street, between Leicester and Elizabeth streets, using the cut-and-cover method. The station will serve the large health and education precinct in the Melbourne suburb of Parkville, including the University of Melbourne, the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Royal Women's Hospital.

The station connects Parkville to the metropolitan train network for the first time. Provisions have been made in the station design to allow for construction of the proposed Metro Tunnel 2, enabling an interchange between the two lines.
