Charonne (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁɔn] ^ⓘ) is a station on Line 9 of the Paris Métro. It was opened on 10 December 1933 with the extension of the line from Richelieu–Drouot to Porte de Montreuil.

The station is named after the Rue de Charonne and the district of Charonne. In 1008, Robert II of France the Pious gave Charonne to the Abbey of Saint-Magloire, but it changed hands over the centuries. A small locality developed around the castle of Charonne, which was largely annexed by Paris in 1860.
