Haruyama Station (晴山駅, Haruyama-eki) is a railway station in the city of Hanamaki, Iwate, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Haruyama Station is served by the Kamaishi Line, and is located 15.9 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Hanamaki Station.

The station has one side platform serving a single-bi-directional track. The station is unattended.

Haruyama Station opened on 16 April 1914 as a station on the Iwate Light Railway (岩手軽便鉄道), a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) light railway extending 65.4 km from Hanamaki to the now-defunct Sennintōge Station (仙人峠駅).[1] The line was nationalized in 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line.. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.

The station is located in an isolated rural area.
