Nakai Station (中井駅 Nakai-eki?) is the name of two railway stations in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, served by the Seibu Shinjuku Line (station number SS04) and the Toei Ōedo Line (station number E-32) respectively. The two stations are separated by approximately two minutes' walk through a shopping street.

Nakai Station is served by the following two lines.

The Seibu station has two side platforms serving two tracks. The station has a third central track used for passing express trains in both directions. Due to ongoing bridge construction on Yamate-dori, which runs above and perpendicular to the station, the only passenger gate is located by the inbound platform; access to the outbound platform is limited to an elevated bridge crossing the tracks.


The Toei station has an island platform with two tracks, located underground parallel to and below both Yamate-dori and the Central Circular Route.

The Seibu station opened on 16 April 1927. The Toei station opened in 1997.

Station numbering was introduced on all Seibu Railway lines during fiscal 2012, with Nakai Station becoming "SS04". The station number for the Ōedo Line is E-32.

In fiscal 2013, the station was the 35th busiest on the Seibu network with an average of 28,264 passengers daily. In fiscal 2012, an average of 11,086 people used the Toei station to board a train per day.

The passenger figures for the Seibu station in previous years are as shown below.
