Myōkō-Kōgen Station (妙高高原駅 Myōkō-Kōgen-eki?) is a railway station in Myōkō, Niigata, Japan, jointly operated by the third-sector railway operators Shinano Railway and Echigo Tokimeki Railway.
Myōkō-Kōgen forms the boundary station between the 37.3 km Shinano Railway Kita-Shinano Line from Nagano and the 37.7 km Echigo Tokimeki Railway Myōkō Haneuma Line to Naoetsu. No through-running services operate, but a cross-platform transfer is provided, with Shinano Railway trains normally using platform 2 and Echigo Tokimeki Railway trains normally using platform 3.
The station has one side platform and one island platform connected by a footbridge.
