Sendagaya Station (JB 12) is a JR East Chūō-Sōbu Line station in Sendagaya 1-chōme, Shibuya, Tokyo — the eastern-most rail station in Shibuya Ward. It opened on 21 August 1904 as a Kōbu Railway station when the Iidamachi – Nakano section was electrified, then nationalised on 1 October 1906. The 1945 firebombing destroyed the station building; a wooden barracks replaced it in December that year. Subsequent rebuildings tied to the 1958 Asian Games, 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics — for the last of which a temporary station building was opened on 18 September 2016 and the current building entered service on 27 October 2019. A temporary platform built in 1964 was reactivated in 2020 as the dedicated westbound platform.

Sendagaya has stood adjacent to the National Stadium since the 1958 Asian Games, leading to a tragic crush on 23 October 1986 when 5,000 athletics-meet attendees rushed the ticket gate and 46 were injured. The platform still has a shōgi-piece monument donated by the Japan Shogi Federation in December 1980, plus a calligraphic station-name plaque written by master player Yoshiharu Habu.
