Kamiita Station (上伊田駅, Kamiita-eki) is a railway station in Tagawa, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is on the Tagawa Line, operated by the Heisei Chikuhō Railway. Trains arrive roughly every 30 minutes.[1] East of the station, the JR Kyushu-operated Hitahikosan Line branches off to the north. However, JR Kyushu does not serve this station.

On 1 April 2009, a local recycling plant, Kanda Shōten, acquired naming rights to the station. Therefore, the station is alternatively known as Kanda Shōten Kamiita Station (神田商店上伊田駅, Kanda-Shōten-Hoshii-eki).[2]
