Futako-Tamagawa Station (二子玉川駅 Futako-tamagawa-eki) is located in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan. The area surrounding the station is commonly called Futako-Tamagawa, and often refers to the Tamagawa and Seta districts of Setagaya, but there is no precise definition. It is colloquially referred to as "Futako" (フタコ) or "Nikotama" (ニコタマ), from an alternate reading of the first three kanji characters in the name.

The east side of Futako Tamagawa is currently undergoing redevelopment. There are plans for three sectors; sector one will be centered around a station building, sector two will be a high-rise commercial and hotel district, and sector three will consist of similarly high-rise apartments, the tallest of which will be 151 metres high. There are also plans to improve road access to the capital. Redevelopment has already changed the area - the station was revamped in 1997, and a 27-storey apartment building, the aptly named "Proud Tower Futako Tamagawa", became news for having rooms surpassing the 2 hundred million yen (1,700,000 USD) mark.
The Tamagawa Takashimaya (玉川高島屋) Shopping Center is a branch of the Takashimaya department store chain. It opened as Japan's first suburban shopping centre in 1969, and kick-started the development of similar stores around Japan.
