Kintetsu Nara Station (近鉄奈良駅 Kintetsu-Nara-eki?) is a railway station on the Nara Line in Nara, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway.
The station is the terminal station on the Nara Line. Kintetsu operates through expresses and limited expresses from Kyoto Station and Osaka Namba Station in Osaka. Passengers taking non through trains from Kyoto on the Kyoto Line have to change trains at Yamato-Saidaiji Station to get to Kintetsu Nara.
The station consists of four platforms with four tracks on the second basement level.
The station opened on 30 April 1914, initially named Nara Station (奈良駅?). It was renamed Daiki Nara Station (大軌奈良駅?) in August 1928, Kankyu Nara Station (関急奈良駅?) on 15 March 1941, and Kinki Nippon Nara (近畿日本奈良駅?) on 1 June 1944, before becoming Kintetsu Nara Station on 1 March 1970.
