Rupertswood is an abandoned railway station in Victoria, Australia. It was the last station in the state that operated only to service an adjacent school, with services only stopping to pick up and drop off school traffic.
In 2004, the Victorian government embarked on the Regional Fast Rail project, which was intended to speed up travel times between Melbourne and several regional centres. It was decided that it was easier to close Rupertswood than it was to renovate the station to accommodate the necessary changes. It was subsequently officially closed in December 2004.
