Keigaku-in (慶覚院) is a Tendai Buddhist temple located at the foot of Koma-yama (高麗山) in the Koma area of Oiso, Naka District, Kanagawa Prefecture. The temple was originally founded in 1613 in the Minamishitamachi area. However, it was destroyed in a fire in 1882 and later relocated to its present site, which was formerly known as Muramochi Jizo-do (村持地蔵堂).

The temple's main hall enshrines a Seated Statue of Jizo Bosatsu (地蔵菩薩坐像), which bears an ink inscription dated Kenji 4 (1278). This statue is a work from the late Kamakura period (1185–1333) and has been designated an Important Cultural Property of Kanagawa Prefecture.
