Ebisu Station opened on 25 February 1901 as a freight-only siding serving the Yebisu Beer brewery next door on what was then a Nippon Railway alignment. The site was relocated about 300 metres toward Shibuya on 16 April 1906, with passenger service following on 30 October 1906, and the line was nationalised days later. The brewery branch closed on 15 November 1982 and was redeveloped as Ebisu Garden Place. A Hibiya Line subway level beneath the JR platforms entered service on 25 March 1964, the Saikyō Line was extended here in 1996, and on 26 June 2010 the Yamanote Line platforms received the first platform-edge doors installed on any JR commuter line.

Departure jingles on the Yamanote Line platforms play "The Third Man Theme," the same music Sapporo uses in Yebisu Beer commercials.
