State Library railway station is an under-construction rapid transit railway station on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines, serving the Melbourne CBD in Victoria, Australia. When opened as part of the Metro Tunnel project, State Library will be an underground premium station, featuring an island platform with two platforms. The station will connect directly to Melbourne Central station via an underground concourse.

The station will feature two street-level entrances on La Trobe and Franklin Streets and is named for the nearby State Library of Victoria. It will provide direct access to RMIT University, Melbourne City Baths, Melbourne Central shopping centre and the nearby Queen Victoria Market. Construction commenced in 2018 with the station scheduled to open in 2025.
