Higashi-Mukōjima Station (東向島駅, Higashi-Mukōjima eki?) is a railway station on the Tobu Skytree Line in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tobu Railway.

The station is served by the Tobu Skytree Line from Asakusa Station in Tokyo to Tōbu-Dōbutsu-Kōen in Saitama Prefecture. It is located 3.2 km from Asakusa Station.

Higashi-Mukōjima Station has two opposite side platforms serving two tracks.

The station first opened on 1 April 1902 as Shirahige Station (白鬚駅?), but operations were suspended from 15 July 1905, and the station was formally closed from 4 April 1908. It reopened as Tamanoi Station (玉ノ井駅?) on 1 October 1923 following urban regrowth after the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. On 12 December 1987, the station was renamed Higashi-Mukōjima Station.
