Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome Station (天神橋筋六丁目駅, Tenjimbashisuji Roku-chōme Eki) is located in Tenjimbashi Rokuchome, Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan. Nicknamed "Ten-roku", it is located on the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line, the Sakaisuji Line and the Hankyu Railway Senri Line (also through trains to the Kyoto Line).

Until 1969 there was the terminal station of the Hankyū Senri Line named Tenjinbashi Station (天神橋駅) which opened in 1925. When the Sakaisuji Line subway opened, the station was replaced by the underground Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome Station. The station building (Ten-Roku Hankyu Building) and platforms remained until 2009, when the building was demolished to make way for high-rise condominiums.

The world's largest covered shopping street, known as the Tenjimbashisuji Shotengai, begins at Ten-roku. It is 2.6 km (1.6 mi) long.
