Shinkaichi Station (新開地駅, Shinkaichi-eki^?) is the main station of the Kobe Rapid Transit Railway in the district of Shinkaichi, Kobe. Opened on April 7, 1968 it is the interchange between the Tōzai Line and the Namboku Line.

It is served by through-running trains from the Hankyu, Hanshin, Sanyo and Shintetsu lines.

Shinkaichi was originally at the heart of Kobe, but Kobe's central business district has shifted towards Sannomiya.
