Hosoura Station (細浦駅, Hosoura-eki) was a JR East railway station located in Ōfunato, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The station, as well as most of the structures in the surrounding area, was destroyed by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and has now been replaced by a provisional bus rapid transit line.

Hosoura Station was served by the Ōfunato Line and was located 97.1 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Ichinoseki Station.

Hosoura Station had a single side platform serving traffic in both directions. The station was unattended.

Hosoura Station opened on December 15, 1933. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. The station was one of six stations on the Ōfunato Line destroyed by the March 11, 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
