Hon-Hachinohe Station (本八戸駅, Hon-Hachinohe-eki^?) is a railway station on the Hachinohe Line in the city of Hachinohe, Aomori, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Hon-Hachinohe Station is served by the Hachinohe Line, and lies 5.5 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Hachinohe Station.

Hon-Hachinohe Station has single elevated island platform serving two tracks with the station building located underneath. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office as well as automatic ticket machines.

The station opened on January 4, 1898, as Hachinohe Station (八ノ戸駅^?) on the Nippon Railway. The Nippon Railway was nationalized on November 1, 1906, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), and a year later, on November 1, 1907, the station was renamed Hachinohe Station (八戸駅^?). The JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. In 1971, Shiriuchi Station (尻内駅, Shiriuchi-eki^?) on the Tohoku Main Line was renamed "Hachinohe Station", and the original Hachinohe Station was renamed "Hon-Hachinohe". The station building was elevated and completely rebuilt in 1977. With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of JR East.
