Kwangmyŏng station ( Korean광명역) is a railway station in Kwangmyŏng-ri, Kosan county, Kangwŏn province, North Korea, on the Kangwŏn Line of the Korean State Railway. [1]

Originally called Sŏgwangsa station ( Korean석왕사역; Hanja釋王寺驛), the station, along with the rest of the former Kyŏngwŏn Line, was opened by the Japanese on 16 August 1914. [2] It was given its current name after the establishment of the DPRK.
