Namsŏk station is a railway station on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line of the Korean State Railway in Kilju, North Hamgyong Province, North Korea.[1]

The station, along with the rest of the KiljuHapsu section, was opened by the Government Railways of Chosen(朝鮮総督府鉄道) on 1 November 1933.[2]

On 9 October 2006 an underground nuclear test was conducted at P'unggye-ri in Kilju County, causing the closure of the line for 3–4 months.[3]
