Morradoo railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Crib Point opening on 7 November 1960 as Rail Motor Stopping Place Number 15. In 1996 the platform was extended to 52 metres in length and a new shelter was erected. This made the platform the second shortest with a regular service in Victoria (the shortest being at Leawarra, on the same line).

The station was renamed as the result of a local competition in 1996, with the winning entry being Morradoo, suggested by Bree Saunders of Crib Point Primary School. Morradoo comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "powder and shot", and was the original name for Crib Point.
