Athlone was a railway station on the Strzelecki railway line in South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. The station was opened in 1922, and was closed on 7 August 1941 following flooding of the Lang Lang River, which resulted in damage to one of the four trestle bridges over the river, after which the line was closed back to Yannathan station.
