Airport Terminal 2 Station (空港第2ビル駅 Kūkō-daini-biru eki?) is a railway station located in Terminal 2 of Narita International Airport in Narita, Chiba, Japan.

The station is shared between East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Keisei Electric Railway. There is a common concourse on level B1F of the main Terminal 2 building and then platforms below, using the double track originally intended for the Narita Shinkansen. JR East has the northern platform and Keisei the southern platform. The station opened on 3 December 1992.

There is a security checkpoint between the railway station and the terminal building proper where baggage may be inspected and identification (such as a passport) must be shown.

The station is linked to Higashi-Narita Station by a 500 m underground passage.

This was the first JR station to contain Hindu-Arabic numerals (rather than Chinese numerals) in its name.
