Kabuto Station (加太駅, Kabuto-eki^?) is a train station of West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) in Kameyama, Mie, Japan. It is located 71.1 rail kilometres from the terminus of the Kansai Main Line at Nagoya Station and 11.1 rail kilometers from Kameyama Station.

Kabuto Station was opened on September 21, 1896 with the extension of the Kansai Railway from Yokkaichi Station to Tsuge Station. The Kansai Railway was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Imperial Government Railways (IGR), which became Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from October 1, 1962. With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of JR-West.

Kabuto Station has a side platform and a converted side platform serving two tracks, connected by an overpass.
