Oshima Station (小島駅, Oshima-eki) is a JR Shikoku passenger rail station in Mima city, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. It has the station code B17 and lies on the Tokushima Line, 24.6 km from Tsukuda. Only local trains stop here.

The station has one island platform serving two tracks. A siding off track 1 ends in a large vehicle shed near the station building. Access to the platform is by a footbridge. The station is unstaffed, but there is a ticket vending machine, and a nearby shop sells some tickets as a kan'i itaku agent.

History: Oshima Station opened on 25 March 1914 as part of the JGR’s expansion of the Tokushima Main Line. After JNR privatization on 1 April 1987, it came under JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.
