Shin-Yokohama Station (新横浜駅, Shin-yokohama-eki^?) is a train station in Yokohama, Japan. It is located on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, Yokohama Line, and Yokohama Municipal Subway Line 3.

In addition to being a part of residential urban sprawl of the metropolitan Tokyo area, which includes Yokohama, the area around the station saw an influx of mid-size companies including computer software firms set up offices there from the mid 1980s on thanks to increased stops by the Hikari and Nozomi services which offered shorter travel hours to Nagoya and Shin-Ōsaka.

The Nissan Stadium (formerly International Stadium Yokohama) (the largest stadium in Japan with a capacity of 72,327 seats) was the host to the 2002 FIFA World Cup final match and is the home of the Yokohama F Marinos soccer team, and the Yokohama Arena are located about a 10-minute walk each from the station. The Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum is about a 5-minute walk from the station.
