Tarrawarra is a station on the former Healesville line between Yarra Glen and Healesville in Australia. The station, opened in 1889, closed along with the Healesville line in December 1980. In the 1970s, timetables showed "stop if required" because of the small number of passengers.

The section of track through the location of the station is now maintained by the Yarra Valley Railway, which is based out of Healesville. A tourist service operates on weekends, and school and public holidays using a restored Walker railmotor to the back of the Tarrawarra Estate Winery through the tunnel, approx 3 km before the former station.

Tarrawarra station in future is expected to be a crossing loop when the station reopens as part of the restoration of the line to Yarra Glen. Work has commenced to replace the wooden bridges between the station and Yarra Glen lost on Black Saturday 2009. Currently the Tarrawarra yard is being used as a major staging area for the restoration project.
