Hon-Atsugi Station (本厚木駅, Hon-Atsugi-eki^?) is a major railway station on the Odakyu Odawara Line in Atsugi, Kanagawa, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Odakyu Electric Railway.

The station is 45.5 kilometers from the line's terminal at Shinjuku Station. Most local, section semi-express, and semi-express trains inbound from Shinjuku Station terminate at this stop and head back to Shinjuku. West of this station, most express trains stop at every station until the line terminus in Odawara Station. All rapid express and most limited express (Romancecar) services also stop here.

Hon-Atsugi Station is an elevated structure built into the building used by the Mylord shopping mall (one of four such shopping malls owned by the Odakyu Group). One of the station's exits leads directly into the 4th level of the shopping mall. The station has two island platforms serving four tracks.

The station opened on April 1, 1927 as Sagami-Atsugi Station (相模厚木駅^?) for through trains. At that time, trains stopping at every station ran between Shinjuku station and Inada-Noborito Station (稲田登戸駅^?), now Mukōgaoka-Yūen) and did not continue to Hon-Atsugi. Later, from October 15, 1927, express trains began stopping at the station. The first trains of the Jinchū Railroad (神中鉄道^?), present-day Sagami Railway) run from Ebina Station to this station on November 25, 1941 and the station was renamed Hon-Atsugi on June 1, 1944.
