Izumi-Chūō Station (泉中央駅, Izumi-Chūō eki) is a terminal underground metro station on the Sendai Subway Nanboku Line in Izumi-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. In 2023, the sub-station has named Vegalta Sendai·Yursta-mae. In addition to being the northernmost subway station on the line, there is a large bus terminal for commuters to continue on towards the farthest reaches of Sendai, as well as neighboring towns such as Rifu and Tomiya.The area around Izumi-Chūō Station is highly commercial, with many shops, restaurants, night clubs, and other amenities.

Due to traffic congestion near the only exit of the original station, the city undertook a construction project to extend the underground passageway to an area which could facilitate more vehicles. That project was finished in 2005.

In May 2024, it was wrapped to commemorate Vegalta Sendai's 30th anniversary. (See Gallery for details)
