Gwanggyo Jungang (Ajou Univ.) Station is a metro station located in Iui-dong, Yeongtong-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Jungang means "center" in Korean, denoting the station's central location in Gwanggyo. The station is close to Ajou University and its hospital.

Forming the downtown of Gwanggyo new city, the Gyeonggi Provincial Office is scheduled to be built here and it is directly surrounded by many large shopping malls such as Avenue France and World Square, a Lotte oulet and cinema and the popular Gwanggyo lake park and cafe street.

The station is the country's first subway station to have an underground bus transfer station which will open on 22 February 2016, where screen doors are installed on bus platforms so bus riders from all over Suwon can transfer to the subway directly by walking down only one floor.
