Namp'ohang Station is a freight-only railway station in Haean-dong, Hanggu-guyŏk, Namp'o Special City, North Korea. It is the terminus of a branchline from Namp'o on the P'yŏngnam Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]

The station was opened by the Korean State Railway after the end of the Korean War to serve glass factories and shipbuilders located in the area.[2] The branch serves a petroleum storage tank farm, the Namp'o Glass Bottle Factory,[3] and the Namp'o Shipyard complex.[4]
