Mikawa-Toyota Station is an Aichi Loop Railway station in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, 15.9 km from the line's origin at Okazaki (station number 10). It opened on 27 December 1937 as a station on the privately held Mikawa Railway Okazaki Line. The Mikawa Railway was merged into Meitetsu on 1 June 1941, making it a Meitetsu Okazaki Line station. The station was renamed Toyota-Jidōsha-mae (トヨタ自動車前駅) on 1 October 1959, and the line beyond it to Koromo was discontinued on 30 August 1973. It returned to service on 26 April 1976 when the JNR Okata Line opened along the former Meitetsu alignment, passed briefly to JR Central in 1987, and was transferred to the third-sector Aichi Loop Railway on 31 January 1988, at which point it reverted to its original name.

The current Mikawa-Toyota name actually revives an older name in use before 1959, when the predecessor Meitetsu station was renamed Toyota-Jidōsha-mae; the original name was restored when the third-sector Aichi Loop Railway took over in 1988.
