Sha Tin Station (Chinese: 沙田站) is a station on the East Rail Line of Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system. The station is located in the town centre of Sha Tin.
The station was formerly on the main line of the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR), but since KCR's merger with the MTR, it belongs to the East Rail Line of the MTR.
Citylink Plaza, which has a footbridge link to New Town Plaza, is built on top of the station. The station serves two large bus termini with buses going to many places around Hong Kong (such as Sai Kung or Tung Chung). One is on an elevated surface, adjacent to the concourse level. The other is at ground level in New Town Plaza.

Station layout
There are two island platforms for platforms 1 and 2, and platforms 3 and 4 respectively.
Trains normally stop at platforms 2 and 3. Platforms 1 and 4 are used in the following occasions:
- for special departures during peak hours (platform 4 for southbound) and race days (platform 1 for northbound),
- to serve as buffers when the train frequency is high during peak hours, or
- to serve as buffers so that non-stop through trains can overtake local trains.
