Plamondon is a station on Orange Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Côte-des-Neiges section of the borough of Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

It was inaugurated on June 29, 1982; it served as the western terminus of the Orange Line, replacing Côte-Sainte-Catherine station, until the extension to Du Collège was completed in 1984.

The station is a normal side-platform station with an entrance at either end. The northern entrance is integrated into a social housing project.

The station was designed by Patrice Gauthier.
