Iseshi Station (伊勢市駅 Iseshi-eki?) is a union railway station in Ise, Mie Prefecture, Japan. It serves JR Central’s Sangū Line and is 15.0 rail kilometers from the terminus of that line at Taki Station. It also serves the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway and is 27.7 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Yamada Line at Ise-Nakagawa Station.

Iseshi Station has a single island platform and a side platform serving the 3 tracks used by JR Central. The Kintetsu portion of the station has two opposed side platforms. JR Central station is responsible for the administration of the section between Tamaru and Toba. Kintetsu station is administrated by Ujiyamada Station. All of the platforms are connected by an overhead crossing.

Iseshi Station opened on November 11, 1897, as Yamada Station (山田駅 Yamada-eki?) on the privately owned Sangū Railway. The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) network. The Sangū Electric Express Railway (later known as the Yamada Line) began operations on September 21, 1930. The station building was rebuilt in May 1950, and the Kitetsu portion in 1953. The station was renamed to its present name on July 15, 1959.
