Hapsu station is a railway station in Paegam county, Ryanggang province, North Korea, on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]

The station, along with the rest of the Kilju–Hapsu section, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 November 1933.[2]

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