Hwamyeong Station (Korean화명역; Hanja華明驛) is a station on the Busan Metro Line 2 in Hwamyeong-dong, Buk District, in the northwestern part of Busan, South Korea. It was one of the first stations opened on the line in 1999.[1]

On August 25, 2014, the station suffered severe damage due to flooding brought by the Korean monsoon season, causing a section of the subway line from Gumyeong Station to Hopo Station to shut down temporarily.[2]
