Orchard MRT Station (NS22) is located on the North South Line of the Mass Rapid Transit and is located along Orchard Road, Singapore. Some of its platform livery is maroon in colour.

Passenger traffic at this station is extremely high, especially during weekend and festive periods. On the evening of 31 December 1999, trains had to skip this station so as to relieve the overcrowding in the station during the Millennium Celebrations. The usual overcrowding at this station was caused by a large amount of shoppers at the nearby Wisma Atria, Takashimaya, and so on. Rivals to the passenger traffic are low, with the most prominent being City Hall. On 15 January 2008, Exit C is officially closed, sealed and ready for demolition. Exit E will replace its role and it will lead to the future mall, ION Orchard.
