Toba Station (鳥羽駅 Toba-eki?) is a railway station in Toba, Mie, Japan, jointly operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway. The station is 29.1 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Sangū Line at Taki Station. It is 13.2 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Kintetsu Toba Line at Ujiyamada Station and 41.5 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Yamada Line at Ise-Nakagawa Station.

Toba Station consists of two bay platforms for use by JR Central, and two island platforms for use by the Kintetsu Lines.

Toba Station opened on July 21, 1911 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Sangū Line. The Shima Electric Railway connected to the station on July 23, 1929. JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Through a series of mergers, the Shima Electric Railway became the part of the Kintetsu Group by April 1, 1965. The Kintetsu portion of the station was rebuilt in March 1970. The JNR portion of the station burned down in a fire on January 6, 1974 and rebuilt by October 14, 1975. The Kintetsu portion of the station was rebuilt again in July 23, 1999.
