Uzen-Nagasaki Station (羽前長崎駅, Uzen-Nagasaki eki) is a railway station located in the town of Nakayama, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Uzen-Nagasaki Station is served by the Aterazawa Line and is located 11 km (6.8 mi) from the start of the line at Kita-Yamagata, and 13.3 km (8.3 mi) from Aterazawa. The preceding station of Uzen-Kanezawa is 1.5 km (0.93 mi) away and the following station of Minami-Sagae is 2.5 km (1.6 mi) away.
The station was built with a single island platforms connected to the station building by a footbridge. However, with the opening of the west exit in 2004, the tracks on the west wide of the platform were removed, making the station effectively a side platform with trains in both directions using the same side of the platform. The station is a staffed Kan'i itaku station. The station has no accessibility features.

Uzen-Nagasaki Station began operation on July 20, 1921.[2] The station briefly acted as the terminal station of the Aterazawa line, until December 11, 1921, when the line was extended to Sagae. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company. In 2004, platform 1 of the island platform was transformed into a west-side exit at the request of residents on the west side of the station.
The Station will start accepting Suica Cards in Spring 2024, with the extension of the Sendai area Suica zone to Yamagata Prefecture.[3]
In fiscal 2022, the station was used by an average of 317 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
