Fengshan Station (Chinese: 鳳山車站; Hanyu Pinyin: Fèngshān Chēzhàn; Tongyong Pinyin: Fòngshan Chejhàn), formerly spelled Fongshan Station, is a railway station on the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) Pingtung Line located in Fongshan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
The station was opened on October 1, 1907 as Hōzan Station (鳳山停車場?), as part of the first phase of what later became the TRA Pingtung Line. In 1935, a brick station building opened and replaced the original wooden station building, and was expanded twice in 1964 and 1990. The station tracks were electrified between May 3, 1995 (from Kaohsiung to Fengshan) and July 10, 1996 (from Fengshan to Pingtung). Until 1998, this station was also served by the South-North Line () of Taiwan Sugar Railways.
