Minami-Ibaraki Station (南茨木駅 Minami-Ibaraki-eki?, meaning "South Ibaraki Station"), is a junction station on the Osaka Monorail Main Line and the Hankyu Kyoto Line. The station is located in Ibaraki, Osaka, Japan.

The shopping area around the stations include a few convenience stores, a Seattle's Best Coffee store, a couple of supermarkets and a post office. The station is surrounded by low price apartment complexes (danchi) and a few commercial buildings.

The station of the Hankyu line opened on March 8, 1970, and provided bus connection for passengers visiting Expo '70 (held March 15, 1970, through September 13, 1970). Unlike temporary Bankokuhaku Nishiguchi Station on the Senri Line (near present Yamada Station), which was open only during the Expo, Minami-Ibaraki Station was built as a permanent station.

The monorail station opened on June 1, 1990.
