Mong Kok is an MTR station located in the central area of Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is between Prince Edward and Yau Ma Tei stations on the Tsuen Wan Line and Kwun Tong Line. Mong Kok's livery is Dim Red. The initial English name for the station was Argyle, after nearby Argyle Street. However the station was renamed upon the Island Line's opening.

Mong Kok opened on 31 December 1979, originally serving as part of the Kwun Tong Line towards Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. When the Tsuen Wan Line opened in 1982, it took over the original line south of Yau Ma Tei station.

Mong Kok Station serves as a cross-platform interchange between two MTR lines, allowing passengers to change trains either from the Kwun Tong Line trains to southbound Tsuen Wan Line trains towards Central, or vice versa. The Mong Kok East Station is nearly 500 metres to the northeast of the MTR station. More than 200,000 passengers use this station daily.
