Bedok MRT station is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West Line (EWL) in Bedok, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station serves the Bedok area and its landmarks such as Bedok Bus Interchange and Bedok Mall. It is reportedly one of the busiest stations on the eastern portion of the EWL.[2][3][4]

First announced in May 1982 as Chai Chee station, it was renamed to Bedok station and was confirmed to be part of Phase II of the MRT system. It commenced operations on 4 November 1989 along with other stations on the eastern stretch of the line. Half-height platform screen doors were installed at the station in 2012, along with High volume low speed fans that following year.

Built with a domed roof and an island platform layout on the top floor, the station is two-stories tall with its ticketing office on the ground floor. It is connected to its exits by underground passageways. As a part of SMRT's heritage-themed public art display, there is a mural that details the history and landmarks of Bedok.
