Saikū Station (斎宮駅?, Saikū-eki) is a railway station on the Yamada Line in Meiwa, Mie Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway. Saikū Station is 17.1 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Ise-Nakagawa Station.

Saikū Station has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing.

Saikū Station opened on March 27, 1930 as a station on the Sangu Kyuko Electric Railway. On March 15, 1941, the line merged with Osaka Electric Railway to become a station on Kansai Kyuko Railway's Yamada Line. This line in turn was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944 to form Kintetsu. A new station building was completed in 1944; this was replaced by a modern building in 1992.
