Langelier is a station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is in the district of Mercier-Ouest in the borough of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. It was inaugurated on June 6, 1976, as part of the extension of the Green Line to Honoré-Beaugrand.

Designed by Victor Prus & André G. Dionne, it is a normal side-platform station built in tunnel. The central mezzanine, built within the tunnel vault, gives access to three entrances on three corners of an intersection. On the platforms, sculptural grilles by Charles Daudelin conceal ventilation intakes.

[edit] Origin of the name

The station is named for boul. Langelier. Sir François-Charles-Stanislas Langelier (1838–1915) served in a number of high offices in Quebec, including mayor of Quebec City (1882–1890), Chief Justice of Quebec (1906), and Lieutenant-Governor (1911–1915).
