Gare du Midi (French) or Zuidstation (Dutch) is a rapid transit station in Brussels, Belgium, consisting of both a metro station (on the southern segment of lines 2 and 6) and a premetro (underground tram) station (serving lines 4 and 10 on the North–South Axis between Brussels-North railway station and Albert premetro station).

The metro station opened on 2 October 1988 as the southern terminus of line 2 from Simonis. Line 2 has since been extended beyond Gare du Midi/Zuidstation to Clemenceau in 1993, Delacroix in 2006, and Gare de l'Ouest/Weststation in 2009. Since 3 December 1993, the station has also accommodated North–South Axis premetro services at separate platforms, with cross-platform interchange between metro and premetro in both directions.^{[citation needed]} Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by lines 2, 3, 4 and 6.^[1][2][3][4] Line 3 was disbanded in 2024 and replaced by the new line 10.^[5]

The metro station is located under Brussels-South railway station, the busiest station in Belgium, and the only Brussels stop for international high-speed rail services Eurostar (including the former Thalys) and TGV.
