Gdynia Stocznia is an SKM stop in Gdynia, Poland. It is the fifth stop of this urban train in Gdynia. This stop is not connected with any railway station.

In December 1970 a vicious riot took place on this stop and in the area between shipyard workers and communist militia and some people were killed.

The name of the stop (Stocznia - en. shipyard) is connected with the nearby Shipyard of Gdynia, and it was used mainly by its workers.
