Konkuk University Station is a station of Seoul Subway Line 2 and Line 7. It is adjacent to the university after which it is named. The station is known to be very congested at times due to the large number of commuters living in the Nowon and Jungnang districts to the north transferring from Line 7 to Line 2 in the morning and vice versa in the evening.

This station is located in front of the main entrance of the Seoul campus of Konkuk University.
