Beimen (Chinese: 北門車站; pinyin: Běimén Chēzhàn) (literally "North gate") is a railway station on the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) Alishan Forest Railway line located in East District, Chiayi City, Taiwan.
The station was opened on 1 October 1912. On 16 May 1998 the station caught in fire which resulted the 40% burning of station right side. The Chiayi Forest District Office then planned a budget to restore the station and restoration work was completed on 7 November the same year. In August 1999, section of the railway between Fenqihu Station and Alishan Station was badly damaged by Typhoon Morakot. After restoration efforts, a successful trail run of the train between Beimen Station and Alishan Station was made on 16 September 2015.
The station is a Japanese architectural style building made of wood.
