Hadong Station is a railway station in South Korea located at Bipa-ri, Hadong-eup, Hadong-gun, South Gyeongsang Province. It is on the Gyeongjeon Line. As of 2016 the Mugunghwa-ho train stops at the station eight times a day. From September 27, 2013, the S-Train made four round trips per day, but this was changed in December 2013 to two round trips per day.

Many cherry blossom trees have been planted in a row on the south side of the platform, and in early April, when the cherry blossoms begin to bloom, many tourists flock to the station to take pictures, or for a date.
