Ang Mo Kio MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North–South Line in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore. Located at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8, beside Ang Mo Kio Town Garden East, the station is connected to AMK Hub, Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange and the Ang Mo Kio Town Centre via an underground walkway. Opened on 7 November 1987, Ang Mo Kio station is one of the five stations that collectively make up Singapore's oldest MRT stations. This station will become an interchange station along the Cross Island Line in 2030.

In June 1983, the terminus of the North–South Line was announced to have been extended from Ang Mo Kio station to Yio Chu Kang.
