Decoteau Station (IPA: [dekəˈtoʊ]; named after Alex Decoteau, the first ever First Nations individual to serve as a police officer in Canada) is the headquarters and largest station of the Alberta Provincial Police (APP), located in Edmonton, the capital and second-most populous city of the Canadian province of Alberta.

Decoteau Station functions as a normal APP station, as it is home to a handful of divisions and corps commands and even has an attached jail operated by the Strathcona County Department of Corrections. However, its primary function is as headquarters of the APP, with much of its office space dedicated to the Office of the Commissioner, including its many advisory and operational committees and public relations and legal counsel led by the Commissioner's chief of staff, as well as the Office of the Deputy Commissioner.
