Une station-service, ou essencerie dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique francophone, aussi appelée station essence, station d’essence ou station à essence, est une infrastructure positionnée sur le bord d'une route ou d'une autoroute destinée principalement à fournir du carburant aux automobilistes. Le mot "station-service" est un calque de la locution anglaise ("service station").
Outre les pompes à carburant, les stations les plus équipées offrent aussi des services nécessaires aux véhicules automobiles : boutique d'accessoires automobiles, station de gonflage des pneumatiques, petite mécanique et dépannage. Elles proposent également des services à destination des automobilistes : toilettes, épicerie, restauration, téléphone public.
