Albert Park was a railway station on the St. Kilda line in Melbourne, Australia. The station was closed in 1987, however Melbourne tram route 96 now runs through the former location of the station. The station was located on Ferrars Street just to the north of Albert Road, just minutes walk from the Bob Jane Stadium, current home of the South Melbourne Soccer club and the former home of the South Melbourne Football Club.

The station has low level platforms, which are used to accommodate the trams using the light rail, and the former and only remaining part of the station, the high platforms, which were used by trains. These train platforms have been fenced off and are connected to the main building.
