Uwajima Station (宇和島駅, Uwajima-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku. Also known as Ueno Wajima station.

The station is the terminus of the JR Shikoku's Yodo Line for which it is station number "G47" and is located 77.8 km from the opposing terminus of the line at Wakai. It is also the terminus of JR Shikoku's Yosan Line for which it is station number "U28" and is located 297.6 km from the opposing terminus of that line at Takamatsu.^[1]

The station, which is staffed, consists of two ground-level bay platforms serving three tracks.

The station opened on 18 October 1914 as a through-station on the narrow-gauge line from Uwajima to Chikanaga owned by the Uwajima Railway (宇和島鉄道). With the nationalization of Uwajima Railway on 1 August 1933, the station came under the control of Japanese Government Railways (JGR), later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR).

With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Shikoku.^[1][2]
