Porte de Namur (French) or Naamsepoort (Dutch) is a Brussels metro station on the southern segment of lines 2 and 6. It is located under the small ring and next to Chaussée d'Ixelles/Elsense Steenweg, in the municipality of Ixelles, south of the City of Brussels (Belgium).

The station opened as a premetro (underground tram) station on 20 December 1970 and became a heavy metro station on 2 October 1988. It takes its name from the ancient Namur Gate area, itself named after the Namur Gate in Brussels' old city walls.
