Toke Station (土気駅, Toke-eki^?) is a railway station in Midori-ku, Chiba, Japan operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Toke Station is served by the Sotobō Line, and is located 18.1 km from the terminus of the line at Chiba Station. Some Sotobō Line limited express Wakashio services from Tokyo to Awa-Kamogawa stop at this station. It is also served by some Tōgane Line through-running trains to and from Narutō via Ōami.

The station building is elevated and is built over the tracks and platforms. The station has a "Midori no madoguchi" ticket office. This station consists of a single island platform, serving two tracks.

Toke Station opened on November 1, 1896 as a station on the Bōsō Railway. On September 1, 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued on October 1, 1962. The station building was enlarged in January 1979, with the construction of the south exit. A new station building was completed in August 1986. The station became part of the JR East network upon privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987.
