Chichester Metro ( /ˈtʃaɪtʃɛstə/) is a station on the Yellow Line of the Tyne and Wear Metro. It is situated in the Chichester area of South Shields, North East England. Trains head eastbound to the terminus at South Shields (King Street) and westbound towards Gateshead and Newcastle, with an interchange at Pelaw for trains to South Hylton via Sunderland.

Chichester Metro station is situated on the new Metro route to South Shields, which followed the former Stanhope and Tyne Railway route rather than the former Brandling Junction Railway route via High Shields. Part of this line had been transferred into National Coal Board ownership, and to the south of the station was a single-track electrified NCB freight line, part of the Harton Colliery system. In the early 1990s this line was de-electrified, and, following the closure of Westoe Colliery, has been closed completely.

Chichester Metro station was intended as one of the original interchange stations which meant buses were timetabled to interchange with Metro services. This arrangement broke down after the deregulation of local bus services in 1986. The platforms at Chichester are below street level, however the ticket hall is at ground level. The ticket hall contains two ticket machines and a newsagent. Chichester Metro has four bicycle lockers.

Unlike the city of Chichester in Sussex, the 'i' is pronounced as 'eye' (/aɪ/).
