Nitanai Station (似内駅, Nitanai-eki) is a railway station in the city of Hanamaki, Iwate, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Nitanai Station is served by the Kamaishi Line, and is located 3.5 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Hanamaki Station.

Nitanai Station opened on 25 October 1913 as a station on the Iwate Light Railway (岩手軽便鉄道), a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) light railway extending 65.4 km from Hanamaki to the now-defunct Sennintōge Station (仙人峠駅).

The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.
