Chizu Station is a junction station in the town of Chizu, Yazu District, Tottori Prefecture, jointly served by the JR West Inbi Line and the third-sector Chizu Express Chizu Line. It opened on 5 June 1923 when the Inbi Line was extended from Mochigase, as the temporary terminus. Reorganisations in 1928 and 1932 absorbed the surrounding network into the present Inbi Line. Operation passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation, and the Chizu Express platforms entered service on 3 December 1994. In fiscal 2017 the JR side averaged 2,911 daily passengers and the Chizu Express side 118. The Midori-no-Madoguchi staffed counter closed on 16 February 2025 and the station became unstaffed on 1 June 2025.

The town writes its name 智頭 and reads it ちづ, but the station name follows the reading ちず used by the ōaza Chizu in which it stands. Both romanise as "Chizu", making this an unusual case of a station and its municipality being read differently.
