Amagasaki Station opened on 1 June 1874 on the Tōkaidō Main Line, originally named Kanzaki Station (神崎駅) after a nearby Chūgoku-kaidō river crossing rather than the more distant Amagasaki castle town. The current name was adopted in 1949, when Kanzaki Station was renamed Amagasaki to reflect its role as the town's principal station, while the Amagasaki-kō Line's own Amagasaki Station was renamed Amagasaki-kō. Operation passed from JNR to West Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987. The station's status was transformed by the opening of the JR Tōzai Line on 8 March 1997: an extra platform was added, and Amagasaki became a major junction where Tōkaidō, Fukuchiyama, and Tōzai Line trains interchange. Today all Fukuchiyama Line commuter and limited-express services stop here.

Despite sharing a name, JR's Amagasaki and Hanshin's Amagasaki are separate stations roughly 1.8 km apart; passengers transferring between the two must take a bus rather than walk through any shared facility.
