Melbourne Station Pier is a historic passenger shipping facility in Port Melbourne, Australia, and for decades served as Victoria's principal cruise ship terminal. The present pier opened in 1930 on the site of the earlier Railway Pier, which dated to the nineteenth century.

Station Pier is not a conventional shipyard and does not contain a graving dock or floating dry dock. It is retained as a wet-dock facility because passenger vessels have used its alongside berths for refurbishment, interior work, equipment installation and other projects that can be performed while a ship remains afloat.

For Cruising Earth records, the facility should therefore be used only when evidence identifies Station Pier as the actual location of an alongside or wet-dock project rather than a conventional dry docking.
