Shimo-Kitazawa Station (下北沢駅) is an interchange station on the Odakyu Odawara and the Keiō Inokashira lines located in Tokyo's Setagaya ward. The Odakyu section was opened on April 1, 1927, and the Keio section on August 1, 1933.

An unusual feature of Shimo-Kitazawa station is the use of a single ticket gate serving two independent lines and ticketing systems; this is a legacy of the Inokashira Line's former ownership by Odakyu.

The station is located within Shimokitazawa neighborhood, a popular area for young people with a number of shops catering to them.

The station was featured in the 1998 film Tokyo Eyes, a French-Japanese thriller/romance film starring Shinji Takeda and Hinano Yoshikawa and directed by French film/documentary maker Jean-Pierre Limosin.
