Tin Shui Wai (Chinese: 天水圍) is an MTR station located in Ping Shan near Tin Shui Wai New Town, Yuen Long District. It is the only heavy rail station serving Tin Shui Wai, which has a population of around 300,000.

A public transport interchange is located to the southwest of the station. Three footbridges are constructed along Tin Fuk Road and Ping Ha Road to connect the station to the highly populated urban area that the station is built in.

Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform.

The first train to Tuen Mun departs at 6:21 a.m., while the last train departs at 12:36 a.m. the day after. The first train to Hung Hom departs at 5:51 a.m., and the last train departs at 12:21 a.m. the day after.

There is also a private feeder bus service running between the station and Kingswood Villas, a large group of private housing estates in Tin Shui Wai, and some other private domestic premises.
