Hamakita Station (浜北駅, Hamakita-eki^?) is a train station on the Enshū Railway Line in Hamakita-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Hamakita Station was established on December 6, 1909 as Kibune Station (貴布禰駅, Kibune-eki^?). It was renamed Enshu-Kibune Station (遠州貴布禰駅, Enshu-Kibune-eki^?) in April 1923. All freight operations were discontinued in 1973. The station was given its current name in 1977, when the station building was reconstructed into a two-story structure housing a small shopping center. This shopping center closed in 2003.

Hamkita Station is a manned station with a single island platform, connected to a two-story station building. The station building has automated ticket machines, and automated turnstiles which accept the NicePass smart card, as well as ET Card, a magnetic card ticketing system.
