Namba Station (難波駅, なんば駅, Nanba-eki) is a name shared by two physically separated railway stations in the Namba district of Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan, operated by Nankai Electric Railway^[1] and the Osaka Metro. The name "Namba Station" can also refer to the entire station complex as a whole, including the similarly named JR Namba Station and Ōsaka Namba Station.

The names of both stations are written in hiragana on signage within the stations, because the kanji "難波" can be also read "Naniwa". However, the names of both stations officially employs kanji, printed on train tickets.

An island platform and a side platform with two tracks.

The Midōsuji Line station originally opened as an island platform serving two tracks, but overcrowding prompted construction of a side platform serving northbound trains (that platform opened in 1987). As of 2015, the island platform serves only southbound trains, and the northbound side of the island platform is fenced off.
