Sjiksja or Šiška is a railway stop at the Swedish Malmbanan between Gällivare and Kiruna.

The stop is located approximately 20 km south of Kiruna, between Kalixforsbron and Kaitum. It is the only stop at Malmbanan where the letters SJ (Sveriges Järnvägor, Swedish Railways) occur twice. It was the place where artist Nils Nilsson Skum lived.

The company Vindkompaniet i Kiruna wants to build windmills on a hill immediatly west of Sjiksja.
