Kallang MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West line (EWL) in Kallang, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station primarily serves the Kallang area as well as Lorong 1 Geylang bus terminal. Like many stations in the eastern portion of the EWL, it has a domed roof. It is mostly wheelchair accessible and has bicycle facilities.
First announced in May 1982 as Geylang MRT station, it was to be constructed as part of Phase II of the MRT system. Its name was later changed in October 1983. Kallang station commenced operations on 4 November 1989 along with other stations on the eastern stretch of the line. In December 2005, a man jumped in front of an oncoming train and was killed. Half-height platform screen doors were installed at the station in 2012, along with high-volume low-speed fans that following year.
