nihongo|Shōwa Station|昭和駅|Shōwa-eki is a railway station on the Tsurumi Line in Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The station is operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

The station opened as a station of Tsurumi Rinkō Railway, a predecessor operator of the Tsurumi Line, on March 20, 1931. Tsurumi Rinkō Railway was integrated into the Japanese Government Railways on July 1, 1943. [Teishajo|II|p. 71]

The station was named Shōwa because it was adjacent to a factory of Showa Fertilizer Company (present-day Showa Denko). [cite book
