Shiremoor is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, serving the village of Shiremoor, North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. It opened in 1980, following the opening of the first phase of the metro, between Haymarket and Tynemouth via Four Lane Ends.

The station is located on the alignment of the former Blyth and Tyne Railway line from Newcastle New Bridge Street to Tynemouth. The station was opened on 11 August 1980, as a replacement for the former Backworth station, which was some 800 metres (2,600 ft) to the west and was closed to passengers in June 1977 in preparation for the conversion of the line to the Tyne and Wear Metro.

Unlike neighbouring West Monkseaton to the east, which is a converted British Rail station, Shiremoor was purpose-built for the Tyne and Wear Metro. At the time it was opened, the next metro station to the west was Benton, but the gap between the two has since been filled by the successive openings of Palmersville (in 1986) and Northumberland Park (in 2005).
