Meguro Station opened on 16 March 1885 as a station of the Nippon Railway, and the line it served was designated the Yamanote Line in 1909. The Meguro–Kamata Electric Railway, a predecessor of today's Tokyu Corporation, opened its own station at the site on 11 March 1923, and after several rebuilds the Tokyu platforms moved underground on 27 July 1997. On 6 August 2000 the Mekama Line was split into the Meguro Line and the Tōkyū Tamagawa Line, and on 26 September 2000 the Namboku Line and Toei Mita Line subway station opened, beginning through service with the Tokyu Meguro Line. The JR platforms received their first half-height platform-edge doors on 28 August 2010, and station numbering was rolled out across JR East starting at this station in 2016.

Despite its name, the station has never stood in Meguro: it opened in Ōsaki Village and today lies in Shinagawa Ward, just short of the Meguro boundary. Both sides now hold their own "Meguro Pacific-saury Festivals", run by different organisations on different days and riffing on the famous rakugo tale.
