Kuniyoshi Station (国吉駅 Kuniyoshi-eki?) is a railway station operated by the Isumi Railway Company's Isumi Line, located in Isumi, Chiba Prefecture Japan. It is 8.8 kilometers from the eastern terminus of the Izumi Line at Ōhara.

Kuniyoshi Station opened on April 1, 1930, as a station on the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) Kihara Line. After World War II, the JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were discontinued from October 1, 1974. With the division and privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987, the station was acquired by the East Japan Railway Company. On March 24, 1988, the Kihara Line became the Isumi Railroad Isumi Line. In 2009, a new station building was completed.

Kuniyoshi Station has dual opposed side platforms serving two tracks. The station is unattended, although the station building houses a number of shops.
