Sucat station is a station on the South Main Line ("Southrail") of the Philippine National Railways. Like all PNR stations, this station is at grade. The station is located on Meralco Road in Muntinlupa, near the South Luzon Expressway.

The station is the fifteenth station southbound from Tutuban and is one of three PNR stations serving Muntinlupa City, the others being Alabang and Muntinlupa.

Currently, this is the last station to have dual tracks as the lines will merge into a single track immediately after this station. There are current plans to continue the long-stalled dual tracking of the railways towards Alabang and beyond.
