Kikusui Station (number T11) is a Sapporo Municipal Subway station on the Tōzai Line in Shiroishi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. It opened on 10 June 1976 with the line's inaugural Kotoni–Shiroishi segment, received an elevator on 22 March 2006, had platform-edge doors activated on 26 November 2008, and from 1 December 2024 carries the sub-name "Hoshizaki Hokkaidō Mae" on its station signs for a two-and-a-half-year period. Shiroishi-ku traces its name to ex-Sendai-domain settlers from Shiroishi Castle who, after the Boshin War, immigrated to "Motsukisappu" (around present-day Shiroishi-Chūō) in 1871; the settlement founded by the retainers of Katakura Kojūrō was christened "Shiroishi-mura" after their home castle-town by the Kaitakushi official Iwamura Michitoshi, and the area was annexed by Sapporo City in 1950 and became Shiroishi Ward in 1972 when Sapporo became a designated city.

A small piece of Sapporo settlement lore links the station's name to the ward's pioneer story: settlers from the original Shiroishi-mura split off in 1873 in search of more fertile land and founded "Shin-Shiroishi-mura" — the place now known as Kikusui, where the station stands today — which was then renamed Kami-Shiroishi-mura in 1874 before reuniting with Shiroishi-mura in 1902.
