Sam Shing () serves as a terminus for the MTR Light Rail system, situated close to Hoi Wing Road, within the vicinity of Hanford Garden and neighboring Sam Shing Estate in Hong Kong's Tuen Mun District. Commencing operations on 2 February 1992, it falls under Zone 1 and primarily caters to the residents of Sam Shing Estate and Hanford Garden.

This terminus features three platforms: Platform 1 functions as the endpoint for route 505, Platform 2 is designated exclusively for emergency situations, and Platform 3 is allocated for passengers disembarking.

Prior to 13 June 2010, the facility was identified as Sam Shing Terminus ().

Reserved area

There were initial plans to extend two branch lines from this terminus to Chi Lok Fa Yuen and Hong Kong Gold Coast in Tuen Mun. These proposals were ultimately abandoned by the British Hong Kong Government during the 1990s due to insufficient population density. As a result, some undeveloped spaces remain at the terminus site following its establishment.
