Matoba Station (的場駅 Matoba-eki?) is a railway station on the Kawagoe Line in Kawagoe, Saitama, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Matoba Station is served by the Kawagoe Line between Kawagoe and Komagawa, and is located 4.8 km from Kawagoe. Services operate every 20 minutes during the daytime, with some services continuing to and from Hachiōji on the Hachikō Line.
The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. Many trains cross here on the otherwise single line.
The station opened on 22 July 1940. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.
