Shijō-mae Station (市場前駅, Shijōmae-eki) is a train station on the Yurikamome Line, in Kōtō, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan. Its station number is U-14. The station opened on 27 March 2006.

The station's name literally means "In Front of the Marketplace." No market currently exists (the station is fronted on both sides by vacant fields); the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market (more popularly known as the Tsukiji fish market), however, is scheduled to move to the area in 2012. The station and the neighboring Shin-Toyosu Station are bypassed by trains during the busy Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival.
