Seibuen Station (西武園駅 Seibuen-eki?) is a railway station on the Seibu-en Line in Higashimurayama, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Seibu Railway. The station provides direct access to Seibu Yuenchi Amusement Park and Seibu-en Velodrome.

Seibuen Station is the terminus of the Seibuen Line, a 2.4 kilometer spur line from Higashi-Murayama Station.

The station has one terminating side platform and one terminating island platform. Both platforms are ground-level and are connected by a footbridge.

The station opened on 5 April 1930 as Murayama Chosuichi-mae Station (村山貯水池前駅?). It was renamed Sayama Kōen Station (狭山公園駅?) on 1 March 1941. The station was closed on 10 May 1944, reopening on 1 April 1948 as Murayama Chosuichi Station (村山貯水池駅?). It was renamed to its present name on 23 May 1950. The station was relocated 400 meters north to its present location on 20 September 1961, and was renamed to its present name on 25 March 1975. Station numbering was introduced on all Seibu Railway lines during fiscal 2012, with Seibu-Yūenchi Station becoming "ST07" for the Seibu Tamako Line and "SY01" for the Seibu Yamaguchi Line.A new station building was completed in July 1990.
