Namp'o Station is a railway station in Hanggu-guyŏk, Namp'o Special City, North Korea; it is the terminus of the P'yŏngnam Line of the Korean State Railway, and of the Onch'ŏn Branch from P'yŏngnam Onch'ŏn. From here there are also two short branchlines, one to Toji-ri, and the other to Namp'o Port Station, and there is an engine house northwest of the station in Munhwa-dong, Hanggu-guyŏk.
This is a very busy station, serving North Korea's busiest port in terms of international import-export shipping, as well as the Namp'o base of the Korean People's Navy and a coal loading dock.
Originally called Chinnamp'o Station and later renamed Namp'o Station, it was opened by the Chosen Government Railway, along with the rest of the mainline of the P'yŏngnam Line, on 16 October 1910.
