Eifukuchō Station (永福町駅, Eifukuchō-eki^?) is a railway station on the Keio Inokashira Line in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Keio Corporation.

Eifukuchō Station is served by the 12.7 km Keio Inokashira Line from Shibuya in Tokyo to Kichijōji. Located between Meidaimae and Nishi-Eifuku, it is 6.0 km from the Shibuya terminus.

Both all-stations "Local" services and limited-stop "Express" services stop at this station. During the daytime, there are eight "Local" and "eight "Express" services per hour in either direction.

The station consists of two ground-level island platforms serving four tracks, and an above-track station building. It is the only station on the Inokashira Line which has passing loops, to allow transfers between express and local trains in both directions.

As of March 21, 2010, the old, underground station building was replaced by an above-station building, and a south exit was opened, in addition to the existing north exit. On March 23, 2011, the shopping center Keio Retnade (京王リトナード, Keiō ritonaado^?) was opened.

Before the station was rebuilt as an over-track station, there was a walkway at the end of the platforms toward Shibuya between the platforms and the station building, but it was connected by stairs only, with no barrier free facilities. However, the current station includes elevators and escalators between the concourse and platforms on the Kichijoji end of the platforms, and stairs on the Shibuya end, making it fully accessible.
