Hougang MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East line (NEL) in Hougang, Singapore. Underneath Hougang Central and Hougang Central Bus Interchange, the station serves various landmarks, including Hougang Mall and Hougang Sports Hall.
Hougang was first announced along with the 16 NEL stations in March 1996 and was completed on 20 June 2003. Constructing the NEL station required the relocation of Hougang Bus Interchange and a retirement home. In January 2019, it was announced that the station will interchange with the future Cross Island line (CRL). As with most NEL stations, it is a designated Civil Defence shelter. Hougang station features a public artwork Hands Up For Hougang by Seck Yok Ying, a series of 3000 handprints.
