Nippori Station (日暮里駅 nippori-eki?) is a major interchange station in Arakawa Ward of Tokyo.

The JR section of the station was opened on April 1, 1905 and the Keisei section on December 19, 1931. The station is currently undergoing major rebuilding work to provide a connection to the adjoining Nippori-Toneri Line station and to create a new elevated platform for Keisei services.
