Nagamachi Station (長町駅 Nagamachi-eki?) is railway station on the Tohoku Main Line in Taihaku-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and the Sendai Subway.

Nagamachi Station is served by the Sendai Subway Nanboku Line, and on JR East's Joban Line and Tohoku Main Line. The Sendai Airport Access Line uses the same tracks, but passes through the station without stopping. The subway and JR lines are not directly connected; however, the distance between the two stations is only around two hundred metres. It is 347.3 kilometers from the terminus of the Tohoku Main Line at Tokyo Station and 12.4 kilometers from the terminus of the Sendai Subway Namboku Line at Izumi- Chūō Station.

JR Nagamachi Station is an elevated station with one island platform, and the station building located underneath. The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office. The Sendai Subway portion of the station has a single underground island platform.

Nagamachi Station opened on November 2, 1894 as a military station of Nippon Railway. It was opened to the general public on February 21, 1896. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. The subway station opened on June 15, 1987.
