Jinke Road Station (Chinese: 金科路站; pinyin: Jīnkē Lù Zhàn) is the name of a station on Line 2 of the Shanghai Metro. Located along Zuchongzhi Road, the station is located between the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park station and the Guanglan Road station. This station, with four exits, is part of the eastern extension of Line 2 from the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park station, and opened February 24, 2010.

By 2008, the Line 2 terminated at the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park station. On February 24, 2010, the line was expanded from this station through the Jinke Road station to the Guanglan Road station, which was the formal opening of this station. The extension extended the line to about 29 kilometres (18 mi) which now included 19 stations. The entire metro increased its length to around 335 kilometres (208 mi) which included 223 stations. The opening of Jinke Road alleviated traffic away from the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park station and for those commuting to the nearby Pudong Software Park. The extension also included a rebuilding of the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park station from February 14 to February 23 to improve power supply and other equipment. Two months later, the line was extended past the station through the Tangzhen, Middle Chuangxin Road, East Huaxia Road, Chuansha, Lingkong Road, Yuandong Avenue, and Haitiansan Road stations to the Pudong Airport station, which serves the Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
