Nam Cheong Station is an MTR station in Hong Kong, on the Tung Chung Line and West Rail Line, located at the ground level beneath West Kowloon Highway, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon and opposite to Fu Cheong Estate. The livery of Nam Cheong Station is pale yellow green. Nam Cheong Station was originally the southern terminus of West Rail Line before the opening of Kowloon Southern Link on August 16, 2009.

This station provides cross platform interchanges between Platform 1 (West Rail Line to Tuen Mun) and Platform 4 (Tung Chung Line to Hong Kong). These two platforms were not linked together until the MTR fare zones were readjusted on 28 September 2008 following the MTR's merger with the KCRC. One of the wider passages is aligned with the fifth and sixth carriages of the Hong Kong bound trains on the Tung Chung Line side.

Before the fare zones merger, passengers changing from one line to another had to cross ticket barriers in the concourse to reach the paid area of the other fare system.

The Airport Express line passes between the tracks of Tung Chung Line without stopping at this station.

A public transport interchange, located to the east of the station, allows for transfers to other modes of public transport.

Nam Cheong Station was built by a joint venture between Balfour Beatty and Zen Pacific.[1]

Although this station is on ground level, platform screen doors are still fitted.

All four platforms are located at ground level. The platforms are curved because they were built around existing railways. However, the gaps are not very large.

Before the merge of fare systems on 28 September 2008, Octopus Card users transferring between the West Rail Line and Tung Chung Line had to use the transfer gates separating fare areas the MTR and KCR systems. Once the card is placed on the reader, the first section of journey fare will be deducted and passenger can walk over to the other fare area. Passengers who accidentally walk to the wrong area by mistake exit through the exit gates of current area (not the transfer gates) within 15 minutes or an extra fare was charged.
