Kita-Nagaoka Station (北長岡駅, Kita-Nagaoka-eki) is a railway station on the Shinetsu Main Line in the city of Nagaoka, Niigata, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Kita-Nagaoka Station is served by the Shinetsu Main Line and is 75.5 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Naoetsu Station.

The station consists of one ground-level island platform connected to the station building by a footbridge, serving two tracks, located adjacent to the elevated Joetsu Shinkansen tracks. The station is unattended.

The station opened on 1 November 1915 as Jōoka Station (城岡駅). It was renamed Kita-Nagaoka on 20 June 1951. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.^[1] A new station building was completed in July 2014.^{[citation needed]}
