Fuxinggang station (Chinese: 復興崗; pinyin: Fùxīnggāng; formerly transliterated as Fuhsing Kang Station until 2003) is a Taipei Metro station on the Tamsui Line located in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan. In the past, the station belonged to the now-defunct TRA Tamsui Line.

The name of the station is derived from the nearby Fu Hsing Kang College, a military academy.[2] The Taipei Metro Beitou Depot is located directly south of the station.
