The Buona Vista MRT Station (EW21/CC22) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station located in the town of Buona Vista in Singapore that is part of the East West Line and the Circle Line (under construction), and serves as an interchange between the two lines. On the East West Line, it is between the Dover and Commonwealth stations. On the Circle Line (under construction), it is between the Holland Village and one-north MRT Stations. The station's livery is light green.

It has a taxi stand and serves the Ministry of Education. Just opposite to this MRT is the Biopolis campus. It is one of two stations on the Mass Rapid Transit with direct shuttle bus services to the National University of Singapore besides Clementi, with bus service number 95 operated by SBS Transit to and from Kent Ridge Bus Terminal. By 2011, the university will be served directly by the Kent Ridge MRT Station, a station on the Circle Line and two stations south of Buona Vista.

The station is undergoing retrofitting with lift installation, however, it will not open until the adjoining Circle Line station is completed. Prior to the opening of the Circle MRT Line, it is also the final MRT station to have lifts installed. A pedestrian bridge across North Buona Vista Road will also be reconstructed along with the new lift and transfer linkages between the two lines. This will be located between the tracks of the East-West Line. The lift shaft for Buona Vista station is also located here, on the eastern end of the station. As of 2 August 2008, escalators leading down to the transfer level from the platform have been installed and the bridge and lift are undergoing fit out works. A new section of the platform has been closed for interchange works as well.
