Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station (新函館北斗駅, Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto-eki^?) is a railway station on the Hakodate Main Line in Hokuto, Hokkaido, Japan, operated by the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido). The station – rebuilt and very extensively enlarged to serve from March 2016 as the northern terminal of the new Hokkaido Shinkansen – occupies the site of the former Oshima-Ōno Station (渡島大野駅^?).

The station, which is numbered H70, is served by trains operating on the Hakodate Main Line and the newly opened Hokkaido Shinkansen.

The station opened on 10 December 1902, named Hongō Station (本郷駅^?). It was renamed Oshima-Ōno on 1 April 1942. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.

The station has been rebuilt and renamed Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station (新函館北斗駅^?), becoming a stop on the Hokkaido Shinkansen high-speed line, which opened on 26 March 2016. "Relay" shuttle services using three-car 733 series electric trains operate to and from the centrally-located Hakodate Station (approximately 18 km away).
