Shin-Ōsaka Station (新大阪駅, Shin-Ōsaka-eki) is a major interchange railway station in Yodogawa-ku, Osaka, Japan. It is the western terminus of the high-speed Tōkaidō Shinkansen line from Tokyo, the eastern terminus of the San'yō Shinkansen and one of the main railway terminals in the north of Osaka. The Shinkansen lines are physically joined, and many trains offer through service.

Shin-Osaka is about 3 km (1.9 mi) from the older Ōsaka Station (Shin-Ōsaka-eki means "New Osaka Station"). The new station was built in 1964 to avoid the engineering difficulties of running Shinkansen lines into the center of the city. The JR Kyoto Line and subway Midōsuji Line provide convenient connections to other stations around the city center.
