Ōsakajō-kōen Station (大阪城公園駅, Ōsakajō-kōen-eki, lit. "Ōsaka Castle Park") is a railway station on the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) Osaka Loop Line in Jōtō-ku, Osaka, Japan. The station name translates as Osaka Castle Park.

The station was designed to reflect the architecture of Ōsakajō (Ōsaka Castle), for which the station gets its name. This could be seen in the black and white coloured contrast of the walls, and the green-coloured roofs (representing the iconic colour of corroded copper roofs that Ōsakajō is well known for having).
