Hōya Station (保谷駅 Hōya-eki?) is a railway station in Nishitōkyō, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Seibu Railway.

Hōya Station is served by the Seibu Ikebukuro Line from Ikebukuro in Tokyo, with some services inter-running via the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line to Shin-Kiba and the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line to Shibuya and onward via the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minato Mirai Line to Motomachi-Chukagai. Located between Ōizumi-gakuen and Hibarigaoka, it is 14.1 km from the Ikebukuro terminus.

The station has one island platform and one side platform serving a total of three tracks. The side platform serves trains going up on track 3. The island platform serves trains going down on platform 1 and some trains either go up or down on platform 2.

A siding exists between the running tracks west of the station for use by trains terminating at Hōya. Stabling tracks also exist north of the line to the west of the station.

The station opened on April 15, 1915.

The new station building opened on December 27, 1991. The north entrance was rebuilt in 2003.
