Waterloo Public Square is a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system.^[1] It is located on the Waterloo Spur rail line in Waterloo, between Willis Way and Erb Street at King Street, and at the north end of its namesake, the Waterloo Public Square. It opened in 2019.

Access to the platform is open from the square itself, or from the north side of the mall to the west of the station.

The station serves northbound trains only; the nearest southbound platform is at Willis Way station, about 200 metres (660 ft) away.

The station's feature wall consists of dark blue, light blue, and white glass tiles in a pattern.

The station is centrally located in Waterloo's central business district, known as Uptown. Just south of the station is the Shops at Waterloo Square shopping mall; other nearby institutions include the Centre for International Governance Innovation, the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
