Buendia station is an underground Metro Rail Transit (MRT) station located on the MRT Line 3 (MRT-3) system in Makati. It is one of two underground stations that can be found on the line, the other being Ayala. The station lies near the EDSA–Kalayaan Flyover and Gil Puyat Avenue (Buendia Avenue) in Makati.

It is the tenth station for trains headed to Taft Avenue and the fourth station for trains headed to North Avenue. It is the second to the last station south of the Pasig River and is also the last underground station in the line before the line goes above ground at Guadalupe station. It is one of five stations on the line where passengers can catch a train going in the opposite direction without paying a new fare due to the station's layout. The other four stations are Araneta Center–Cubao, Shaw Boulevard, Boni, Ayala, and Taft Avenue. Excluding Araneta Center–Cubao station, it is also one of four stations on the line with its concourse level located above the platform.

Opened on December 15, 1999, the station served as the line's southern terminus until Taft Avenue station and two intermediate stations opened on July 20, 2000.^[1]
