Sagami-Ono Station (相模大野駅 Sagami-Ōno-eki?) is a railway station in the city of Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Odakyu Electric Railway.

Sagami-Ono Station is served by both the Odakyu Odawara Line and the Odakyu Enoshima Line. It is 32.4 kilometers from the Tokyo terminus of the Odawara Line at Shinjuku, and is also the starting point of the 26.6 km (16.5 mi) Enoshima Line to Katase-Enoshima.

Sagami-Ono Station has two island platforms with six tracks, connected to the station building by overpasses. The two central tracks are used for non-stop train services. The station building is part of a large shopping mall, containing an Odakyu OX supermarket, Odakyu department store, a Bic Camera discount electronics store, and the Odakyu Hotel Century Sagami-Ono.

The station opened on April 1, 1938, as Tsūshin-Gakkō Station (通信学校駅?), named after the nearby Army Telecommunication School (Rikugun Tsūshin-Gakkō). It was renamed Sagami-Ono on January 1, 1941, as part of the counter-intelligence movement to eliminate the names of military facilities from maps. Work began on the new station complex from September 1, 1996.
