Prince Edward is a station of the MTR rapid transit system in Hong Kong, China. It is located in Northern Mong Kok, Kowloon, under the junction of Nathan Road and Prince Edward Road West (the station is name after this road). The station's livery is Pale Purple.

Prince Edward is a cross-platform interchange station between the Tsuen Wan Line and the Kwun Tong Line. The stations to the north are Sham Shui Po and Shek Kip Mei on the Tsuen Wan Line and Kwun Tong Line respectively. Both lines stop at Mong Kok station to the south. Although the Kwun Tong Line tracks had already been laid for the station in 1979, the station was not opened until the Tsuen Wan Line opened in 1982, since the station was designed principally for the purpose of interchanging to ease the expected overcrowded interchange at Mong Kok Station.
