Mojikō Station (門司港駅 Mojikō-eki?) is a railway station on the Kagoshima Main Line in Moji-ku, Kitakyushu, Japan, operated by the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).

Mojikō Station is served by the Kagoshima Main Line.

The Neo-Renaissance style building was built in 1914.

The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket counter.

The station opened on 1 April 1891. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.

From 29 September 2012, the 1914-vintage station building was temporarily closed for major renovations. It is scheduled to reopen in March 2018.

Mojikō Station is the gateway to various tourist attractions and old buildings which have been preserved in the nearby streets under the name Mojikō Retro.
