Ōtaki Station (大多喜駅, Ōtaki-eki^?) is a railway station operated by the Isumi Railway Company's Isumi Line, located in Ōtaki, Chiba Prefecture Japan. It is 15.9 kilometers from the eastern terminus of the Izumi Line at Ōhara.

Ōtaki Station opened on April 1, 1930 as the initial terminal station on the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) Kihara Line. The line was extended on to Fusamoto by August 25 1933. After World War II, the JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were discontinued from October 1, 1974. With the division and privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987, the station was acquired by the East Japan Railway Company. On March 24, 1988, the Kihara Line became the Isumi Railroad Isumi Line. From September 1 2009, the station's signage has been changed to reflect its new unofficial name of Dental-Support Ōtaki Station (デンタルサポート大多喜駅, Dentaru-suppōto Ōtaki-eki^?)

Ōtaki Station has a two opposed side platforms, with the station building connected to Platform 1.
