Munch'ŏn station (Korean: 문천역) is a railway station in Munch'ŏn-dong, greater Munch'ŏn city, Kangwŏn province, North Korea, on the Kangwŏn Line of the Korean State Railway.[1][page needed] Originally called Munp'yŏng station (Chosŏn'gŭl: 문평역; Hanja: 文坪驛), the station, along with the rest of the Okp'yŏng–Wŏnsan section of the former Hamgyŏng Line, was opened by the Japanese on 1 August 1915.[2] It received its current name after the establishment of the DPRK.
This station serves the Munp'yŏng smelter and the May 18th Works factory.[3]
