Ōsaka Abenobashi Station (大阪阿部野橋駅 Ōsaka-Abenobashi-eki?) is a train station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line located in Abeno-ku, Osaka, Japan. The station is also called "Abenobashi Station" (あべの橋駅). The bus stop of the city buses operated by Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau is Abenobashi(あべの橋).

According to the research on November 8, 2005, 178,527 passengers got on and off trains at Ōsaka Abenobashi Station. It was the second largest number of passengers getting on and off trains at stations on the Kintetsu Lines.

As of June 2008, the station is undergoing work to shift the platforms and ticket gates to the east, so that station facilities are entirely within the Kintetsu Abeno department store's "new" (east) building. The "old" (western) portion is set to be demolished to make way for a new high-rise building.
