The Newmarket railway substation is a heritage-listed railway electrical substation located at 132-164 Newmarket Street, in Flemington, an inner-western suburb of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. It was built in c. 1914 – c. 1915 and was added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 19 September 1996 in recognition of its scientific and architectural importance. Despite its nomenclature, the substation is located in the suburb of Flemington. The substation was decommissioned as a substation in c. 1966 and continued to operate as a DC switching station (or tiestation). The switching was temporarily recommissioned in 1986 for the Papal visit.
