Boni station is an at-grade Metro Rail Transit (MRT) station located on the MRT Line 3 (MRT-3) system in Mandaluyong. It is named so due to its proximity to Boni Avenue, which is in turn named after the nickname of Bonifacio Javier, a World War II guerilla leader and former mayor of Mandaluyong.[1] It has several restaurants and shops that surround the station, including a public market located across the train station.

It is the eighth station for trains headed to Taft Avenue and the sixth station for trains headed to North Avenue. It is the last station in Mandaluyong, before crossing over to Makati and one of five stations on the line where passengers can catch a train going in the opposite direction without paying a new fare due to the station's layout. The other four stations are Araneta Center-Cubao, Shaw Boulevard, Buendia, Ayala, and Taft Avenue. Excluding Araneta Center-Cubao station, it is also one of four stations on the line with its concourse level located above the platform.
