Mojikō Station (門司港駅, Mojikō-eki^?) in Moji ward, Kitakyūshū, Japan is the oldest station on the Kagoshima Main Line in Kyūshū and the terminus for those going to and from Honshū by boat. Since the construction of a train tunnel from Moji Station to Shimonoseki Station on Honshū it is no longer such an important station, except for the tourists visiting the Mojiko Retro area.

The Neo-Renaissance style building is a small replica of former Termini Station of Rome and well-preserved. The Moji banana sellers have traditionally performed their song (banana no tatakiuri) in and near the station. Nowadays Mojikō station is the gateway to various tourist attractions and old buildings which have been preserved in the nearby streets under the name Mojikō Retro.

From November 14, 1993, Mojikō Station became a sister station of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
