Shiki Station (志木駅, Shiki-eki^?) is a railway station in Niiza, Saitama, Japan operated by the Tobu Railway.

It has two island platforms (four tracks) on the Tōbu Tōjō Main Line for services to Yorii, Saitama and Ikebukuro and Shin-Kiba via the Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō Line. All services except Limited Express services stop at this station. During the daytime, local services (four trains per hour) from Ikebukuro terminate here.

Despite its name, the station building is not in Shiki; but, the east entrance where many shops and restaurants are located in Shiki. The city of Shiki has only one station, Yanasegawa Station which is the next stop after Shiki Station on the Tōjō Main Line.
