Yanai Station (柳井駅, Yanai-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Yanai, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
A JNR Class C50 locomotive is preserved in a park in front of the station.
With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).
Only the switchyard remained for a while, but in 1996 the tracks were removed and the site was redeveloped into a shopping center and condominiums.
