Ruanjiandadao station (simplified Chinese: 软件大道站; traditional Chinese: 軟件大道站; pinyin: Ruǎnjiàndàdào Zhàn; lit. 'software avenue station'), is a station of Line 1 of the Nanjing Metro, named after and located along the eponymous avenue of the same name. It began operations on 28 May 2010, as part of the southern extension of line 1 from Andemen to CPU.

During the planning and construction stages, the station was named Ningnandadao station (宁南大道站; 寧南大道站; Níngnándàdào Zhàn; 'Ning (Nanjing) south avenue station') until around May 2009, when the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs (南京市民政部) approved a name change of both the eponymous avenue and station to the present names, in order to increase the name recognition of Yuhua Software Park (雨花软件园).
