Suita Station opened on 9 August 1876 as a new stop on the Imperial Japanese Government Railways' Takatsuki–Osaka section, taking both passenger and freight traffic from day one. The Tōkaidō-line naming reform of 1 April 1895 made it part of the Tōkaidō Line (renamed Tōkaidō Main Line in 1909). The Kitakata Freight Line opened off Suita on 1 August 1918 towards what is now Amagasaki Station, and on 15 March 1929 the Katamachi Freight Sub-line (Jōtō Freight Line) was extended through Suita. From 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West with the privatisation of JNR. Freight operations at Suita itself ended on 1 February 1984, and on 8 October 2012 (Kitakata/Jōtō) and 16 March 2013 (Umeda Freight Line) the formal junction points of those freight branches were moved to the new Suita Freight Terminal Station, leaving Suita as a Tōkaidō Main Line passenger station only.

Suita is Suita City's main JR stop, and is administratively the southernmost station of JR West's Kyoto Branch. Locals reflexively use "JR-Suita" and "Hankyu-Suita" to disambiguate it from the Hankyu Senri Line's Suita Station about 600 m away on a straight-line measure, and the bus rotaries reached from the station's central and east exits are served only by Hankyu Bus.
