The Kaisaniemi metro station (Finnish Kaisaniemen metroasema / Swedish Metrostationen Kajsaniemi) is a station on the Helsinki Metro. It serves the central Helsinki district of Kaisaniemi. It is the only station whose name is announced in only one language: whether this is Finnish or Swedish is unknown and irrelevant, because the Finnish 'Kaisaniemi' and the Swedish 'Kajsaniemi' are pronounced identically.

The station was opened on 1 March 1995, designed by the architect bureau Kontio - Kilpi - Valjento Oy. It is located at a distance of approximately 0.597 kilometres from the Central Railway Station, and 0.916 kilometres from the Hakaniemi metro station. The station is situated at a depth of 27 metres below ground level (22m below sea level).
