Otoineppu Station (音威子府駅, Otoineppu-eki) is a railway station located in the village of Otoineppu, Nakagawa District (Teshio), Hokkaidō, Japan. It is operated by JR Hokkaido.[1][2]

The station is served by the 259.4 km (161.2 mi) Soya Main Line from Asahikawa to Wakkanai and is located 129.3 km from the starting point of the line at Asahikawa.[1][3][4]

Otoineppu Station is an above-ground station with one side platform and one island platform. Platform 1 has a short effective length and is only used by local trains. A footbridge is used to move between platforms. The station is staffed and has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office. There are no ticket vending machines, and local tickets and admission tickets must be purchased at the Midori no Madoguchi. After the Tenpoku Line was abolished, the wooden station building was remodeled into the current station building using the budget of Otoineppu Village. Next to the station building is the office of the Nayoro Track Maintenance Office Otoineppu Track Maintenance Management Office. The station building also serves as a bus waiting room. There is also a "Tenpoku Line Reference Room" where materials related to the Tenpoku Line are exhibited.
