The Taipei Metro Jiangzicui Station is a station on the Banqiao Line located in Banqiao District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.

This two-level, underground station has an island platform and six exits. It is located at the intersection of Wenhua Road and Shuangshi Road.

The station is not in the same location as the Japanese era station (Gangzui Station), which was located at the intersection of Xianmin Boulevard and Sanmin Road and has since been demolished.

Originally, this station was supposed to be called Shuangshi Station (雙十站), but this was later changed to its current name in reference to a tributary of the Dahan River which the Banqiao Line passes under.

On 21 May 2014, at least 25 people were stabbed in mass stabbing spree by a knife-wielding college student on the Taipei Metro Blue Line. The attack occurred on a train near Jiangzicui Station, resulting in 4 deaths and 24 injured. It was the first fatal attack on the metro system since it began operations in 1996. The suspect is 21-year-old university student Cheng Chieh (鄭捷).
