Namba Station (難波駅, なんば駅, Nanba-eki) is a name of two train stations in the Namba district of Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan. One is owned by Nankai Electric Railway and the other is by Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau. The names of both stations are written in hiragana on signage within the stations, because kanji "難波" can be also read "Naniwa". However, the name of both stations officially employs kanji.

They are close to JR Namba Station and Ōsaka Namba Station.
