Ōmi Station (青海駅, Ōmi-eki) is a railway station in the city of Itoigawa, Niigata, Japan, operated by Echigo Tokimeki Railway.

Ōmi Station is served by the Nihonkai Hisui Line, and is 13.9 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Ichiburi and 308.4 kilometers from Maibara Station.

The station consists of two island platforms with a station building. However, only one of the platforms is in normal use.

The station opened on 16 December 1912, as part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR, JNR after 1949). From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the Shinetsu Main Line and Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen line were reassigned to third-sector railway operating companies.^[1] From this date, Ōmi Station was transferred to the ownership of the third-sector operating company Echigo Tokimeki Railway.

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 150 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).^[2]
