Tsing Yi Station is an interchange station on the Tung Chung Line of MTR and Airport Express on Tsing Yi Island in Hong Kong. On the Tung Chung Line, it is located between Sunny Bay Station and Lai King Station. On the Airport Express, it is between Airport Station and Kowloon Station. The livery of the station is dull teal.

The station is four stories above ground. The ground floor has taxi stop outside and has access to the concourse in the first floor. The concourse is integrated with the Maritime Square shopping centre. The second floor houses the Tung Chung line platform for trains heading for Hong Kong Station, and the third floor houses the Tung Chung line platform for services towards Tung Chung Station. At the Airport Express departure and arrival platforms, there is a free WiFi hotspot available.

The Tsing Yi Station Terminus for buses and maxicabs is situated to the side of the station. It serves as a hub for the New Territories, like Tsing Yi, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Kam Tin, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung, Sheung Shui and Fanling.

In Tsing Yi Station, the 4 platforms are constructed in a stacked arrangement, with platform 1 at the top level, and platform 4 at the bottom. Platform 2 is only used to allow travellers coming from the Hong Kong International Airport to alight, except between 7 am and 10 am on Mondays to Saturdays, when Morning Express services are available.
