Neumayer-Station or Neumayer-Station II was a permanent German Antarctic research base on Atka Bay. It opened in 1992, replacing the old Georg-von-Neumayer-Station.

On February 20, 2009, it was replaced by the new permanent research base Neumayer-Station III. At the time, the station was moving with the shelf ice at about 200 meters per year towards the open sea.
