Monumento station is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) system in the southern portion of Caloocan. It is named after the most famous landmark of Caloocan, the Monumento Circle, which houses the Bonifacio Monument, a famous monument to Filipino revolutionary Andrés Bonifacio. The name Monumento itself is derived from the Spanish word for monument. Being a former northern terminus of LRT-1, it is called Monumento Terminal.

Monumento is located on Rizal Avenue in Grace Park West & Grace Park East, Caloocan. It is the third station for trains headed to Baclaran, the eighteenth station for trains headed to Fernando Poe Jr., and is one of the two LRT-1 stations serving the city of Caloocan, the other being 5th Avenue.

LRTA has modified two tracks at Monumento leading to Balintawak, Fernando Poe Jr., and North Avenue stations.

It underwent renovations in September 2017 and was relaunched on February 14, 2018, as Yamaha Monumento station as Light Rail Manila Corporation entered into a naming rights deal with Yamaha Motor Philippines.^[1]
