Saengjang station is a railway station in Saengjang-rodongjagu, Unhŭng 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 Paegam–Pongdu-ri section, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 September 1935.[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]

The primary commodity shipped from Saengjang is forest products.[4]
