Ryūtsū Center Station (流通センター駅, Ryūtsū Sentā-eki) is a station on the Tokyo Monorail in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan. Its name literally means "Logistics Center", and comes from its location near various warehousing and forwarding facilities, including Tokyo's primary rail freight terminal, Tokyo Freight Terminal.

The station opened on 15 December 1969 as Shin-Heiwajima Station (新平和島駅). It gained its current name in January 1972 (originally transliterated as Ryūtsū Sentā, but changed in 1992). Rapid services began calling here on 18 March 2007.

In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 15,948 passengers daily.
