The Taipei Metro Beimen station is a station on the Songshan–Xindian line located in Datong District, Taipei City, Taiwan.

This four-level, underground station has two side platforms. It is located beneath Tacheng St. beneath Civic Blvd. and Zhongxiao West Rd. It was scheduled to open in December 2013 with the launch of the Songshan Line. However, the opening of Beimen station was delayed until 15 November 2014.

The southeastern part of the station connects to the Taipei City Mall, which connects through to Taipei Main Station.

The theme for this station is "Bearing Grace and Inaugurating Vision". It uses silhouette carvings to represent historical images of Old Taipei, Beimen station, and the history of railway transportation. Artworks include "The Gate of Taipei City", "Bearing Grace" series, "Locomotives" in the "Inaugurating Vision" series, and historical photos of Taipei.

Beimen Station was originally known as Hokumon Station (北門駅, Hokumon-eki), and opened east of the old Taiwan Railway Administration Building on 17 August 1915. It was a terminus for the Tamsui Line. It was an at-grade station with side platforms. This station was closed on 6 March 1923.

The Taipei Metro station opened on 15 November 2014.

Excavation depth for this station is around 32 m (105 ft 0 in). It is 171 m (561 ft 0 in) in length and 32 m (105 ft 0 in) wide. It has four exits, one of which is integrated with the South Wing of the National Taiwan Museum.

Taipei Workshop, a Grade 3 historical monument constructed during the era of Japanese rule, was exactly where the future Beimen station would be located. Thus, a removal project commenced on 20 October 2006 to temporarily move the structure until construction of both the Songshan line and the Taoyuan Airport MRT are completed. The building was moved 30 meters (98 ft 5 in) to the southeast, and was moved back when construction was completed.
