Aizu-Shiozawa Station (会津塩沢駅, Aizu-Shiozawa-eki) is a railway station on the Tadami Line in the town of Tadami, Minamiaizu District, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Aizu-Shiozawa Station is served by the Tadami Line, and is located 80.9 rail kilometers from the official starting point of the line at Aizu-Wakamatsu.

Aizu-Shiozawa Station has one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The platform is very short and can only accommodate a single carriage. The station is unattended.

Aizu-Shiozawa Station was opened by the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on February 1, 1965, as an intermediate station on the extension of eastern section of the Tadami Line between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987.

Due to damage caused by torrential rainfall on July 30, 2011, services on the section of line between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami, which includes this station were replaced by a provisional bus service. The closed section resumed operations on 1 October 2022.[2]
