Heiwajima Station (平和島駅 Heiwajima-eki?) is a railway station of the Keihin Electric Express Railway located in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan.
The station has two island platforms. Both platforms are on the upper level and connected by stairs, escalators and elevators to the ground level where ticket office, gates and toilets are located.
The station opened on February 1, 1901 as Sawada Station (沢田駅?). Later the name was changed to Gakkō-ura Station (学校裏駅?), meaning "behind the school". The present name Heiwajima was given September 1, 1961. The platforms were moved to the elevated tracks in 1970.
