Dongsi Shitiao station^[1] (simplified Chinese:东四十条站;traditional Chinese:東四十條站;pinyin:Dōngsì Shítiáo zhàn), is an interchangestation onLine 2 andLine 3 of theBeijing Subway.

Dongsi Subdistrict is an area in the northeastern side of the old town of Beijing.Hutongs are sorted numerically from south to north, and are called "tiao" in local parlance.Shitiao therefore refers to the tenthhutong in the Dongsi area, counted from south to north.

The station is particularly busy duringBeijing Guo'an matches, due to its proximity to theWorkers' Stadium.

The Line 2 station has an undergroundisland platform, whilst the Line 3 station has an undergroundsplit island platform.

There is an unused platform below the existing Line 2 platform, built during the construction of the station, which was to have been used for the planned Line 3. The unused platform, originally meant for Line 3, will not be used for its original purpose, due to the newer rolling stock being too large for the original platform. Instead, it became the transfer concourse between the two lines. The connection between the two levels opened four decades after the station for Line 2 opened. For Line 3, two new platforms were built seven or eight metres below the original, one for each direction.^[2]

To allow construction of Line 3 platforms, the station of Line 2 has suspended for services between November 25, 2023 and February 27, 2024.^[3]

There are four exits, lettered A, B, C, and D. Exits B and C have accessible elevators.
