Xike Station (Chinese: 汐科車站; Hanyu Pinyin: Xīkē Chēzhàn; Tongyong Pinyin: Sike Chejhàn) is railway station of the Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) Western Line located in Xizhi District, New Taipei, Taiwan. Located near Xizhi's technology park, it is experiences heavy traffic during the morning and early evening rush hours.
Construction started in June 2005 and finished on schedule in December 2007. During planning the names South Xizhi Station (南汐止站) and Xizhi Technology Park Station (汐科園區站) were mooted, but eventually the name Xike Station (汐科站) was chosen.
Media reports have highlighted Xike Station as part of the "MRT-ization" plan for Taiwan's urban railways, offering convenient transport for commuters, spurring new residential construction, and raising property prices in the vicinity of the station. This station only stops Local Trains.
The planned Minsheng-Xizhi line of the Taipei MRT system would see Xike Station transformed into a TRA and MRT interchange station.
