Ōkaribe Station (大狩部駅, Ōkaribe eki) is a railway station on the Hidaka Main Line in Niikappu, Hokkaido, Japan, operated by the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido).[1]

Services on the 116 km (72 mi) section of the line between Mukawa and Samani have been suspended indefinitely since January 2015 due to storm damage.[2]

The station opened on 15 July 1958.[3] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.[3]
