Angrignon is a metro station in Montreal, Québec, Canada. It is the current terminus for the western-bound Green Line, and includes a large terminal for buses to southwest Montreal, the West Island, and the South Shore.

Jean-Louis Beaulieu received an award from the Ordre des Architectes du Québec for the design of the station.
