}}Westona railway station is located on the Werribee line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the western Melbourne suburb of Altona. Previously called 'West Altona Station' It opened on 21 January 1985, and was briefly the terminus of the line from Altona, until the line was extended to Laverton on 14 April 1985.[1]

The station was named by Joanna O'Connor, Alan Angus and Betty Angus, who won a council run contest to find a new name. Because the new station was west of Altona, they suggested Westona.[2]

Control of all signals and points were transferred to the Newport signal box in 1986, with the signal control panel moved to the relay room, for maintenance purposes only.[3]

Westona is also a crossing loop, in the middle of a 10-kilometre-long section of single track, between Altona Junction and Laverton. The direction of trains which cross at Westona is unusual for Melbourne, in that they pass each other on the left.
