Nishi-Ōgaki Station, on the Yōrō Railway's Yōrō Line in Ōgaki, Gifu Prefecture, sits 41.2 km from the line's opposing terminus at Kuwana. It opened on 31 July 1913 when the original Yōrō Railway began running between Yōrō and Ikeno. Through a long sequence of corporate consolidations, the operator became Ibigawa Denki in 1922, then Yōrō Electric Railway in 1928, Ise Electric Railway in 1929, Yōrō Dentetsu in 1936, Sangū Express Railway in 1940, Kansai Kyūkō Railway in 1941, and finally Kintetsu in 1944. On 1 October 2007 the Yōrō Line was spun off from Kintetsu into a new Yōrō Railway, which keeps its headquarters and depot here. The station was designated Ōgaki Landscape Heritage No. 87 on 15 January 2021 as a Modern Heritage Asset.

A siding ran from the station yard into the adjacent Ibiden Ōgaki works and carried freight until the mid-1970s; its track and loading equipment remained in place for years afterwards and were finally removed around 2000 when the plant was redeveloped.
