Sinnamp'o Station is a freight-only railway station in Hanggu-guyŏk, Namp'o Special City, North Korea, on the P'yŏngnam Line of the Korean State Railway; it is also the point where the Onch'ŏn Branch to P'yŏngnam Onch'ŏn diverges from the mainline.[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] This station also serves the Ch'ŏnji Lubricant Factory and the Pyonghwa Motors factory.[3]
