Toyosaka Station (豊栄駅 Toyosaka-eki?) is a railway station on the Hakushin Line in Kita-ku, Niigata, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Toyosaka Station is served by the Hakushin Line between Niigata and Shibata, and is 15.0 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Niigata Station.

The station consists of a side platform (1) and an island platform (2/3) serving three tracks, with the station situated above the tracks. The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.

Platform 3 is predominantly used for local Hakushin Line services terminating at this station.

The station opened on 23 December 1952 as Kuzutsuka Station (葛塚駅?), forming the terminus of Hakushin Line from Shibata. It was renamed Toyosaka Station on 1 April 1976. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.

From 22 March 1997, some limited express Inaho services began stopping at Toyosaka. A new station building opened on 25 March 2006.
