Gyōkei-dōri Stop (SC18) is on the Sapporo Streetcar Yamahana Line in Chūō-ku, Sapporo, at the Nishi-7-chōme-dōri/Yonesato-Gyōkei-dōri intersection (Minami 14-jō Nishi 6-chōme). It opened on 25 August 1923 as Gyōkei-dōro Stop, the southern terminus of the Sapporo Electric Tramway Yamahana Line; the line was extended south in July 1925, the tramway was municipalised in December 1927, and the stop was renamed Gyōkei-dōro Gokoku-jinja-mae on 1 April 1942 — the first of several name iterations, through Gyōkei-dōro Shōtoku-jinja-mae (23 August 1948), Nakajima-kyūjō-dōri Shōtoku-jinja-mae (20 June 1949) and back to Gyōkei-dōro Shōtoku-jinja-mae (14 September 1949). The final form Gyōkei-dōri took effect on 24 March 1950, and the stop number SC18 was assigned on 1 April 2015.

Gyōkei-dōri Stop has the unusual distinction of being renamed five times between 1942 and 1950 — the names shuffling "Gyōkei-dōro", "Gokoku-jinja-mae", "Shōtoku-jinja-mae" and "Nakajima-kyūjō-dōri" — before settling on the present concise form.
