Shin-Tokorozawa Station (新所沢駅, Shin-Tokorozawa-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Seibu Railway.
Shin-Tokorozawa Station is served by the 47.5 km Seibu Shinjuku Line from Seibu Shinjuku in Tokyo to Hon-Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture. Located between Kōkū-kōen and Iriso, it lies 31.7 km from the Seibu Shinjuku terminus.[1] All trains except Limited express Koedo services stop at Shin-Tokorozawa Station.
Shin-Tokorozawa Station has two entrances, east and west, with ticket vending on the second floor level of the elevated station building.
The station consists of two island platforms serving four tracks.[2]

From August 2013, an experimental platform edge door system was installed for evaluation purposes at the Tokorozawa end of platform 1 for a period of approximately 8 months.[3] The "Dokodemo Saku" (どこでも柵) platform edge door system jointly developed by the University of Tokyo and Kobe Steel is designed to handle trains with three or four doors per car, and the temporary installation is just one car length long.[4]
The station opened on 11 June 1951, initially named Kita-Tokorozawa Station (北所沢駅).[1] It was renamed Shin-Tokorozawa ("New Tokorozawa") on 1 February 1959.[1]
