Hebita Station is a station on the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) Senseki Line at Shimoyachi, Hebita, Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture. It opened on 22 November 1928 as a station of the Miyagi Electric Railway. On 1 May 1944 the company was nationalized, making it a station of the Ministry of Transport and Communications; freight handling ended in 1962 and parcel handling in 1970, at which point it became unstaffed. It passed to JR East at the privatisation of the national railway on 1 April 1987, and was staffed again within that same year. Suica became usable there from 26 October 2003, and on 11 March 2011 — the very day the renovation of the station building was completed — the entire line was suspended by the Great East Japan Earthquake, though the station facilities escaped damage. It has been a stop for Senseki-Tōhoku Line rapid trains since 30 May 2015.

Two accounts are given for the origin of the place-name "Hebita" (蛇田). One, recorded in the Nihon Shoki, holds that a great serpent emerged from the ground and killed the Emishi who had desecrated the grave of the general Kamitsukeno no Tamichi, who fell in battle during a campaign against the Emishi in the reign of Emperor Nintoku. The other, handed down in the An'ei-era Fudoki, traces the name to the alternative spelling 蛇多, "many snakes", from a tale in which a great many snakes came out of a giant gourd.
