The Kampung Batu Komuter station is a Malaysian commuter train station located in the west side of and named after the village of Kampung Batu (Batu Village) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was built on the location of the disused colonial-era Batu Village railway station. The station is served by the KTM Komuter Seremban Line.

History

The station was constructed between the Batu Caves and the Sentul railway stations as part of a single-track, unelectrified line. It fell into disuse as with the rest of the portion of the railway line from Sentul to Batu Caves. During the Sentul Raya masterplan by YTL Corporation Berhad, the Kampung Batu station was demolished, and rebuilt for the KTM Komuter Port Klang-Sentul line extension. Upon completion in July 2010, the station was served by the Port Klang Line which ran from Port Klang to Batu Caves. In December 2015, following a change in the services of the KTM Komuter, the portion of the railway line between Sentul and Batu Caves stations including Kampung Batu station was transferred to the Seremban Line, with trains now running between Pulau Sebang/Tampin and Batu Caves stations.

The station will be connected to the future MRT Putrajaya Line that is currently being constructed beside the existing KTM station. It is set to be completed and to start operations by July 2021. The station will act as the temporary terminus for Phase 1 operations of the MRT line until Phase 2 is complete in January 2023.
