Ōsaka Abenobashi opened on 13 April 1923 as Ōsaka Tennōji Station, the terminus of the Osaka Railway line from Nunoshino. It was renamed Ōsaka Abenobashi on 10 May 1923 after the Abenobashi bridge, a bridge name rather than a place name because Abeno Station on the Uemachi Line already existed. Wartime mergers placed it under Kansai Express Railway in 1943 and Kinki Nippon Railway in 1944, by which time it had become the Osaka terminus of the Minami Osaka Line. The terminal building lost its upper floors to the 14 March 1945 air raid and was rebuilt by April 1948, then expanded southward in 1956–1957. From June 2013 the old west wing was replaced by Abeno Harukas, the 300-metre skyscraper the station connects directly into.

A 13 November 2012 survey recorded 159,075 daily boardings and alightings at Ōsaka Abenobashi, the highest of any station on the entire Kintetsu network.
