Awaraonsen Station (芦原温泉駅 Awaraonsen-eki?) is a railway station on the Hokuriku Main Line in Awara, Fukui, Japan, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West).

Awaraonsen Station is served by the Hokuriku Main Line. It is also scheduled to become a station on the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen line when the extension west of Kanazawa opens around 2025.

The station has two island platforms with four tracks. It has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.

The station opened on 20 September 1897 as Kanazu Station (金津駅?). It was renamed Awaraonsen Station on 15 March 1972. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
