The Buona Vista MRT Station (EW21/CC22) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station located in the town of Buona Vista in Singapore that is part of the East West Line and the Circle Line (under construction), and serves as an interchange between the two lines. On the East West Line, it is between the Dover and Commonwealth stations. In the Circle Line, it is between the Holland Village (under construction) and one-north (under construction) MRT Stations.

It has a taxi stand and serves the Ministry of Education. Just opposite to this MRT is the Biopolis campus. It is one of two stations on the Mass Rapid Transit with direct shuttle bus services to the National University of Singapore besides Clementi, with bus service number 95 operated by SBS Transit to and from Kent Ridge Bus Terminal. By 2010, the university will be served directly by the Kent Ridge MRT Station , a station on the Circle Line and two stations south of Buona Vista.
