Paekkŭmsan station is a railway station in Paekkŭmsan-dong, greater Tanch'ŏn city, South Hamgyŏng province, North Korea, on the Kŭmgol Line of the Korean State Railway. It was opened on 4 December 1943 along with the rest of the Tongam–Paekkŭmsan section of the line; the station was originally called Yongyang station (Chosōn'gŭl:용양역; Hanja: 龍陽駅), receiving its current name after the establishment of the DPRK.
