{{Nihongo|'''Hakata Station'''|博多駅|Hakata-eki}} is a major railway station in [[Hakata-ku, Fukuoka]], Japan. It is the largest and busiest railway terminal in [[Kyushu]], and is a gateway to other cities in Kyushu for travelers coming from [[Honshu]] by rail travel. The [[San'yō Shinkansen]] from [[Osaka]] ends at this station.

The station was rebuilt in 2011. The main building was demolished and a new, larger station building, as well as office buildings and new platforms, was constructed. The station reconstruction project was initiated specifically for the [[Kyushu Shinkansen]] extension from Hakata to [[Shin-Yatsushiro Station]] which continues southward through its existing route to [[Kagoshima-Chūō Station]]. The new station building has a [[Hankyu Department Store]], its first branch store in Kyushu, as a tenant, as well as other first-in-Kyushu branch retailers including [[Tokyu Hands]].
