Kominato Station (小湊駅, Kominato-eki) is a railway station of the Aoimori Railway Line located in the central district of the town of Hiranai in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. The station has been in operation since 1891, with a new station building – consisting of a side and island platform connected to the station building by a footbridge – was completed in 1986. Since 2010, the station has been operated by the Aoimori Railway Company, a third sector, regional rail operator. It is the busiest railway station in Hiranai.

Passenger trains serve the station 17 hours a day; the departure time between trains is roughly 30 minutes during the morning peak with reduced frequency at other times. The station also serves as a bus station for Shimokita Kōtsu [ja], with local bus routes connecting the station and central Hiranai to communities throughout the town.
