Ruthven railway station is located on the Mernda line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Reservoir, and it opened on 5 August 1963. The station was named after William Ruthven, who served in both world wars (winning the Victoria Cross in World War I), and was later a member of the Victorian Parliament, representing Preston and then Reservoir. In 2022, Ruthven received a $1.03 million upgrade, as part of the Victoria's Big Build project. Upgrades to the station included lighting and facilities, new signage and a substation constructed opposite Platform 1.
