Xingtian Temple Station
Traditional Chinese 行天宮站

The Taipei Metro Xingtian Temple Station (Chinese: 行天宮站; pinyin: Xíngtiāngōng Zhàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hêng-thian-kiong Chām) is a station on the Xinzhuang Line located in Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. The station opened on November 3, 2010.

This three-level, underground station has an island platform. It is located beneath the intersection of Minsheng East Rd. and Jinzhou Street, and opened on November 3, 2010 with the opening of the Luzhou Branch Line and the Taipei City section of the Xinzhuang Line. The station serves over 15,000 passengers per day and is the busiest station on the Xinzhuang Line.

Excavation depth for this station is around 25 meters. It is 157 meters in length and 25 meters wide. It has four entrances, one accessibility elevator, and two vent shafts. Three of the entrances are integrated with joint development buildings, while the other is connected with an existing sidewalk. Following Dapinglin, Xingtian Temple is only the second station to have three joint development sites. The station is equipped with platform screen doors.

Taking into account the nearby Xingtian Temple, the station has the "Eight Generals" (八家將; bajiajiang) masks and tiles as public art displays. Due to the anticipated passenger traffic through the station, the art displays were constructed out of ceramics for easier maintenance and protection from accidents.

The station has four exits.
