Mutsuminato Station (陸奥湊駅, Mutsuminato-eki^?) is a railway station on the Hachinohe Line operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in the city of Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

Mutsuminato Station is served by the Hachinohe Line, and is 9.0 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Hachinohe Station.

Mutsuminato Station has one ground-level island platform serving two tracks, with an elevated station building. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi ticket office in addition to automated ticket machines.

Mutsuminato Station opened on July 11, 1926 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). A freight spur line to nearby Iwaki Cement (now part of Sumitomo Cement) was opened in 1927; the spur line was closed in 1986. With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR, the post-war successor to the JGR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of JR East.

In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 149 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
