Waverley Road was a railway station on the Outer Circle located near the modern East Malvern station in what is now the Malvern Urban Forest in Malvern East, Victoria, Australia (see Victorian Railway Maps 1860 - 2000). The platform, the mound of which can still be seen, was located approximately 120 metres SSE of the line's Waverley Road crossing.
The Outer Circle opened in 1890 from Oakleigh (on the Pakenham line) to Riversdale (with a branch to Camberwell on the Lilydale line) and to Fairfield (on the Hurstbridge line). The first section of what is now the Glen Waverley line was opened from Burnley via Darling to a junction with the Outer Circle just north of Waverley Road. The Outer Circle was closed in sections between 1893 and 1897. The section including Waverley Road was closed in 1895, and the Glen Waverley line was cut back to Darling.
