Keikyū Kurihama Station (京急久里浜駅, Keikyū Kurihama-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway company Keikyū.

Keikyū Kurihama Station is served by the Keikyū Kurihama Line and is located 4.5 rail kilometers from the junction at Horinouchi Station, and 56.8 km from the starting point of the Keikyū Main Line at Shinagawa Station in Tokyo.[1]

The station consists of two elevated island platforms serving four tracks. Platform 2 is primarily used for services terminating at Keikyū Kurihama Station.

Keikyū Kurihama Station opened on December 1, 1942, as the southern terminal station for the Tokyu Shōnan Line. At that time, it was named simply Kurihama Station (久里浜駅, Kurihama-eki), however, to avoid confusion with the neighboring government-run Kurihama Station, it was renamed Shōnan-Kurihama Station (湘南久里浜駅, Shōnan-Kurihama-eki) on April 1, 1944. It became a station on the Keihin Electric Express Railway from 1948. The station was renamed Keihin Kurihama Station (京浜久里浜駅, Keihin Kurihama-eki), on November 1, 1963. A new station building was completed in April 1987, and the station renamed to its present name on June 1, 1987.

Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Keikyū Kurihama Station was assigned station number KK67.[2]
