Jean-Talon is a station of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Little Italy district on the border between the boroughs of Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie and Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension.

It is a transfer station between the Orange Line and Blue Line. The orange line station was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the metro. Designed by Duplessis, Labelle et Derome, it was a normal side-platform station built in tunnel, with a mezzanine on its southern end giving access to several exits, including underground city access to the Tour Jean-Talon.

With the construction of the Blue Line in 1986, the station was greatly expanded. Two large volumes were dug, one on either side of the original station, giving access to the stacked blue line platforms below. This portion of the station was designed by Gilbert Sauvé, and included artistic tiling designs by the architect as well as a large mural by Judith Klein. Another access was built leading to the Plaza Saint-Hubert, connecting to the eastern volume by an automated entrance. The Blue Line platforms were inaugurated on June 16, 1986.

This is the only one of Montreal's four transfer stations not to have been built that way from the beginning.
