History
Hakozaki-Kyūdai-mae Station is a Fukuoka City Subway Hakozaki Line stop in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka. It opened on 31 January 1986 as the terminus of the Maidashi-Kyūdai-byōin-mae extension, and became a through-station later that year on 12 November when the line reached Kaizuka. The Hakozaki Line nickname was adopted on 3 March 1993, and the station's operation was outsourced from 1 July 2004. The platform sits one level below the surface on a single island layout. Annual ridership has fallen sharply since 2018, when most Kyushu University facilities relocated to the Ito campus; in fiscal 2023 the daily average of 2,736 made it the least-used station on the Hakozaki Line.

Notes
The station symbol shows a pine branch arranged into the kanji 九 — a nod to the seaside Chiyo-no-Matsubara pine grove and to nearby Kyushu University.
