Cudgewa was the terminus railway station on the Cudgewa railway line in Cudgewa, Victoria, Australia. It was 410.249 km from Southern Cross station.[1]

Cudgewa's station grounds were extensively upgraded in 1964 to allow for the railway to traffic goods such as cement, steel and electrical equipment for the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme.[2][3]

The turntable and passenger platform were abolished in 1976.[4] A disused paddock is all that is left where this station was once located.
