The Taipei Metro Far Eastern Hospital Station is a station on the Tucheng Line located in Banqiao District, New Taipei, Taiwan.

The two-level, underground station island platform and three exits. The station is 243 meters long and 20.5 meters wide.

The entrance to the station was designed as an arch bridge (from "qiao" in Banqiao, meaning "bridge"). It is also meant to represent a "cloud wall", a characteristic of traditional Chinese gardening; the station is located next to Yuanzhi Memorial Garden.

Public art in the station consists of a piece titled "River Romance", which combined LED lamps with glass sticks to create a color-changing "river of time". Poems are engraved on the glass sticks, which look like moving waves from a distance.
