Osong station (Korean오송역) is a train station on the Honam and Gyeongbu high-speed railways in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, South Korea. It is located at the intersection of the Gyeongbu KTX high-speed rail line, the conventional Chungbuk Line and, since April 2015, the Honam high-speed railway.[1] KTX trains began calling there from November 1, 2010, bringing high-speed rail service to the nearby city of Cheongju.

Not all KTX trains call at Osong; only a select number of trains per day in each direction stop there.[2]

While not directly attached to the station, there is a KTX test track that connects with the lines just north of the station. The facility is named 철도종합시험선로 and was expanded in 2019.[3][4]
