Aioi Station (相老駅 Aioi-eki?) is a railway station in Kiryū, Gunma, Japan, operated by the private railway operators Tobu Railway and the Watarase Keikoku Railway.
Aioi Station is a station on the Tobu Kiryu Line, and is located 16.9 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Ōta. It is also a terminal station for the Watarase Keikoku Railway Watarase Keikoku Line.
Aioi Station has two opposed side platforms for the Watarase Keikoku Railway and one island platform for the Tobu Railway, with both sets of platforms connected to the station building by a footbridge. Both companies share the same set of ticket barriers.
Aioi Station opened on the Ashio Line on 15 April 1911, with the name written using the kanji characters (相生?). The kanji characters were changed to the present name on 1 July 1913.
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tobu lines, with Aioi Station becoming "TI-56".
