Roka-kōen Station (芦花公園駅, Roka-kōen-eki) is a railway station on the Keio Line in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Keio Corporation.[1]

The station is named after the nearby Roka Kōshun-en, a park to commemorate Japanese novelist Roka Tokutomi (1868-1927). The park is located approximately one kilometer south of the station. Despite the name, Hachimanyama Station is marginally closer to the park itself.
