Ōsaka Namba Station opened on 15 March 1970 as Kintetsu Namba Station (近鉄難波駅), serving as the western terminus of Kintetsu's newly built Namba Line and giving the Kintetsu Nara and Ōsaka Lines direct access to the Minami commercial district. The station was renamed Ōsaka Namba on 20 March 2009 when the Hanshin Namba Line was extended from Nishikujō, opening through-running between Kobe-Sannomiya on the Hanshin network and Kintetsu Nara. Although operated jointly with Hanshin, the station remains under Kintetsu management. Station numbering (A01 for Kintetsu, HS 41 for Hanshin) was introduced in stages from 2014 to 2015.

Although Hanshin uses the station as one of its two Osaka-side terminals, Hanshin does not own the tracks here: the line below the station is held by the third-sector operator Nishi-Osaka Kosoku Tetsudo, with Hanshin running over it as a Category-II operator.
