Shin-Ōsaka Station (新大阪駅, Shin-Ōsaka-eki) is a major interchange railway station in Yodogawa-ku, Osaka, Japan. It is the western terminus of the high-speed Tōkaidō Shinkansen line from Tokyo, the eastern terminus of the San'yō Shinkansen and one of the main railway terminals in the north of Osaka. The Shinkansen lines are physically joined, and many trains offer through service.

Shin-Osaka is about 3 km (1.9 mi) from the older Ōsaka Station (Shin-Ōsaka-eki means "New Osaka Station"). The new station was built in 1964 to avoid the engineering difficulties of running Shinkansen lines into the center of the city. The JR Kyoto Line and subway Midōsuji Line provide convenient connections to other stations around the city center.

The JR station consists of five island platforms serving ten tracks for JR West Lines at ground level, with two side platforms and three island platforms serving eight Shinkansen tracks operated by JR Central located on the fourth level, over the platforms and tracks for the JR West Lines in the east. There was a space on the east side of former Track 10 from the opening of the station, where another platform serving current Tracks 9 and 10 is located, and the existing services shifted eastward one platform at a time (and renovations performed on each newly vacated platform), with the westernmost platform used by services on the Osaka Higashi Line, was commenced by the 16 March 2019. On the northern side of the station, an additional eastbound Shinkansen platform, Track 27, was opened on 16 March 2013. (This northern area was originally reserved for a connection from Awaji Station and Jūsō Station by Hankyu Railway, but these plans were later cancelled and the space unused).
