Wallan is a railway station on the North East railway in the town of Wallan, Victoria, Australia. Wallan station is manned part-time and is located at the northern end of the Wallan-Whittlesea Road level crossing. The Melbourne - Sydney standard gauge line is adjacent to the station, as is a crossing loop.

The station consists of two side platforms. Platform 1 contains a small shelter, while platform 2 contains a semi-large weatherboard building with an enclosed waiting room and a tick office inside. A work camp site is located at the station, whilst a disused shed is located on the UP platform. The station is undergoing refurbishment as part of the Parkways program.

Wallan station originally opened on Thursday, 18 April 1872. It was once the home of a substantial rail yard used to marshalling trains for the Heathcote line that left the North East line at Heathcote Junction.
