Jingfengmen station (simplified Chinese: 景风门站; traditional Chinese: 景風門站; pinyin: Jǐngfēngmén zhàn) is an interchange station under construction on Lines 14 and 19 of the Beijing Subway in Fengtai District. It is expected to open no earlier than 2019 and 2020 for Line 14 and 19, respectively. Its name derives from the old gate of the same name in the Jin dynasty capital, Zhongdu.[1] During early planning stages, it was known as You'anmenwai station (右安门外站),[2][3] and, in the October 2015 planning documents for the central section of Line 14, was renamed to Jingfengmen station.[1]

Trains travelling past Beijing South Railway Station on the current eastern section of the station use a crossover at Jingfengmen to turn around.
