Ajiki Station (安食駅, Ajiki-eki) is a railway station operated by JR East’s Abiko Branch Line of the Narita Line located in Sakae, Chiba Prefecture Japan. It is 23.2 kilometers from the terminus of the Abiko Branch line at Abiko Station.

Ajiki Station was opened on February 2, 1901, as a station on the Narita Railway Company for both freight and passenger operations. On September 1, 1920, the Narita Railway was nationalised, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR). After World War II, the JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were suspended from June 10, 1970. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987.

Ajiki Station has dual opposed side platforms connected by an overpass.
