Meitetsu Nagoya Station (名鉄名古屋駅, Meitetsu Nagoya-eki) is the terminal station of the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) system in Nagoya, Japan. Many trains of Meitetsu's major lines operate through this station. The station is also a gateway to the Chubu Centrair International Airport, which is connected with the station by the Limited Express services.
This station is built under the Meitetsu Department Store. Therefore, the station area is very narrow for the large number of passengers, but it is technically difficult to enlarge the station due to the limited and complicated underground area. Because of this, many services to different destinations with either two-doored or three-doored trains, arrive at two tracks. At this station, passengers' waiting spots are separated by destination. Passengers are required to wait at their spot, marked with the colored lines on the platforms and signs above the other side's platform. The station is adjacent to JR Central's Nagoya Station, the city's central station, and Kintetsu Nagoya Station, the terminal of the Kintetsu Nagoya Line.
The station opened on the new section of the Nagoya Main Line that was built to connect the two separate sections in 1941. The station was only connected to the western section at first, but the eastern section also connected to the station in 1944. Since its opening, the station build has been rebuilt several times due to bombing and fire.
The station, as of 2025, has two side platforms, two tracks, and an island platform used for the Spanish solution. Meitetsu is currently redeveloping the area, which includes the relocation and the expansion of the current station to have four tracks. All trains on the line stop at the station, and have to continue moving on their way, even if the train terminates at this station.
