P'yŏngnam Onch'ŏn Station is a railway station in Onch'ŏn-ŭp, Onch'ŏn county, Namp'o Special City, North Korea, the northern terminus of the Onch'ŏn Branch of the P'yŏngnam Line of the Korean State Railway; it is also the southern terminus of the Namdong Branch of the P'yŏngnam.[1]

Regional passenger trains operate between this station and Tŏkch'ŏn on the P'yŏngdŏk Line (trains 226-227/228-229) and Pot'onggang on the P'yŏngnam Line (trains 225/230).[1] This station also handles local freight traffic - daily use commodities inbound and salt and agricultural products outbound - and serves the Onch'ŏn air base of the Korean People's Army Air Force via a short spur.[2]

The station was opened by the Chosen P'yŏngan Railway (Japanese: 朝鮮平安鉄道, Chōsen Heian Tetsudō; Korean: 조선평안철도, Chosŏn P'yŏngan Ch'ŏldo) in July 1938 as part of a 34.7 km-long line from Namp'o.
