Iwashiroshimizu Station (岩代清水 Iwashiro-Shimizu Eki) is a railway station located in Fukushima, Fukushima, Japan. It is on Fukushima Transportation's Iizaka Line.
Iwashiroshimizu is unique in that it is the last remaining station to be named after the former Iwashiro Province. In 1965 Iwashiro-Atami Station, at the time on the JNR's Ban'etsu West Line, was renamed to Bandai-Atami Station. With the 1972 closure of the Kawamate Line, Iwashiro-Iino Station and Iwashiro-Kawamata Station were shut down. This leaves Iwashiroshimizu as the final station bearing the name of the former province.
