Kanazawa-hakkei Station (金沢八景駅 Kanazawa-hakkei-eki?) is a junction railway station in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Keikyu.
Kanazawa-hakkei Station is served by the Keikyu Main Line and is located 40.9 kilometers from the official starting point of the line at Shinagawa Station, in Tokyo. It is also a terminal station for both the Keikyu Zushi Line and the Kanazawa Seaside Line, with the Kanazawa Seaside Line station located approximately 150 m to the east of the Keikyu station.
Kanazawa-hakkei Station is an elevated station with two island platforms serving four tracks. Track 4 is dual-gauge (1,067 mm narrow gauge and 1,435 mm standard gauge) to allow narrow-gauge rolling stock to be moved at night from the nearby J-TREC factory to JR tracks via Zushi Station.

The Kanazawa Seaside Line station is a temporary station, with construction connecting the Seaside Line to the Keikyu station beginning in early 2016.
