Uncheon station is a railway station on the Gyeongui–Jungang Line in South Korea.{{cite web | title=Uncheon station information | website=Rail.Blue - Korea Railroad Operation Information Site | url=https://rail.blue/railroad/logis/stationinfo.aspx?q=%25uC6B4%25uCC9C&c=Korail&lang=en | access-date=2025-04-10}} It is currently served by the Gyeongui–Jungang Line Munsan-Imjingang shuttle service.

The station lacks ticket vending machines. The station was planned to be abandoned entirely; however community pressure caused Korail to change its decision. The station was temporarily closed in October 2, 2019 when the Gyeongui–Jungang Line was extended to Imjingang station as a shuttle service from Munsan, and has been relocated and reopened at the relocated location on December 17, 2022.
