Yea is a former railway station on the Mansfield railway line in Yea, Victoria, Australia. It opened with the line in November 1883 and closed with the line in November 1978. A refreshment room was provided at the station from 1891.[1] In 1976, the platform was shortened from 91.5m to 85.5m.[2]

The tracks have been removed and the railway reserve has been turned into the Yea Railway Park. It includes the historic station building and about five hectares of parkland. There is a picnic shelter, barbecue, toilets, playground, skatepark, walking track and community reserve, and includes a Rotary park.

The station building houses Blackthorn Textiles, a privately-run craft shop. The former goods shed is available for hire. The Yea Country Market is held in the park on the first Saturday of each month, and local artists hold an exhibition and sale in the goods sheds each Easter.

The station building is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[3]
