Future space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as LISA and DECIGO, are expected to detect a large number of GW events, a fraction of which may be strongly lensed by intervening galaxies or galaxy clusters. In this work, we develop a comprehensive framework to simulate strongly lensed GWs in the context of space-borne detectors. Based on realistic astrophysical models for both the source population and the lens distribution, we construct mock catalogs of lensed GW events, referred to as \textbf{GW-LMC-Space}. Our results show that, for a four-year LISA observation, the expected number of lensed events ranges from $0$ to $131$, depending on the adopted formation model of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs). The corresponding lensing probability for MBHBs can reach up to $\sim 0.3\%$. For DECIGO, we find that the number of lensed events in a one-year observation is expected to lie in the range of $0$--$44$, with a lensing probability of $\sim 0.15\%$ for stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs), binary neutron stars (BNSs), and neutron star--black hole binaries (NSBHs). We further show that the overlap of lensed signals is a common feature in space-borne detectors, which can significantly affect both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation and event identification. These results highlight the importance of accounting for signal overlap in the analysis of strongly lensed GW events in future space-borne GW observations.
