Kogawara Station (小川原駅 Kogawara-eki?) is a railway station on the Aoimori Railway Line located in the town of Tōhoku, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. It is 68.4 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Aoimori Railway Line at Aomori Station.

Kogawara Station was opened on August 1, 1944 as Kogawara Signal Stop (小川原信号場 Kogawara shingōjō?) on the Tōhoku Main Line. It was elevated to the status of a full station on June 10, 1953. The station has been unattended since August 1971. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

The section of the Tōhoku Main Line including this station was transferred to Aoimori Railway on December 4, 2010.

Kogawara Station has dual opposed side platforms connected by an overpass. The small waiting room for passengers is built on one of the platforms and is unattended.
