Higashi-Shizuoka Station (東静岡駅 Higashi-Shizuoka-eki?) is a railway station on the Tōkaidō Main Line in Aoi-ku, Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).

Higashi-Shizuoka Station is served by the Tōkaidō Main Line, and lies 177.7 rail km from the line's terminus at Tokyo Station.

Higashi-Shizuoka Station has a single island platform serving two tracks, connected to the station building by an overpass with a moving walkway. The station building has automated ticket machines, TOICA automated turnstiles, and a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office.

Higashi-Shizuoka Station opened on October 30, 1998 as part of an urban renewal redevelopment of a portion of the former Higashi-Shizuoka Freight Terminal. A large-scale convention center next to the train station opened in 1999. These developments were intended to encourage further investment towards the east of Shizuoka city centre.
