Tateyama Station (館山駅 Tateyama-eki?) is a railway station on the Uchibō Line in Tateyama, Chiba Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Tateyama Station is served by the Uchibō Line, and is located 85.9 km from the terminus of the line at Soga Station.

The unstaffed station consists of one side platform and one island platforms serving three tracks.

The station opened on May 24, 1919, as Awa-Hōjō Station (安房北条駅?) on what was then called the Hōjō Line. The Hōjō Line was merged with the Bōsō Line in 1927. The station was renamed to its current name on March 1, 1946. Scheduled freight operations were suspended from November 15, 1982. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. A new station building was completed in March 1999.
