The Pasar Seni station is an integrated rapid transit station in Kuala Lumpur that is served by the LRT Kelana Jaya Line and the MRT Kajang Line. The station is named after the nearby Central Market (known as Pasar Seni or "Art Market" in Malay) and is located near Petaling Street and the area known as the Chinatown of Kuala Lumpur.

The station is made up of two parts - the older elevated Kelana Jaya Line station and platforms which opened on 1 September 1998[1] whilst the newer underground Kajang Line station and platforms which was opened on 17 July 2017.[2] A pedestrian bridge and escalators link the paid areas of both stations, allowing commuters to conveniently transfer between the Kelana Jaya Line and the Kajang Line, while two unpaid linkways connects the Pasar Seni station directly with the Kuala Lumpur station, which is served by the KTM Komuter and KTM ETS services.[3]

The station is located next to the Jalan Sultan Mohamed bus hub with buses to Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Subang Jaya as well as Go KL buses. Pedestrian bridges also link the station with the Kuala Lumpur General Post Office and the Dayabumi building.
