Atwater is a station on the Green Line of the Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is on the border between the city of Westmount and the borough of Ville-Marie.

It was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the metro; it was the western terminus of the Green Line until the extension to Angrignon in 1978.
