Uozu Station (魚津駅, Uozu-eki) is a railway station on the Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line in the city of Uozu, Toyama, Japan, operated by the third-sector railway operator Ainokaze Toyama Railway.

Uozu Station is served by the Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line and is 67.1 kilometres from the starting point of the line at Kurikara.

Uozu Station has one ground-level side platform and one ground-level island platform connected by a footbridge. The station is staffed.

Uozu Station opened on 16 November 1908. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the former Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen line were reassigned to different third-sector railway operating companies. From this date, Uozu Station was transferred to the ownership of the third-sector operating company Ainokaze Toyama Railway.

In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 2,142 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
