Olympiades station (French pronunciation: [ɔlɛ̃pjad] ^ⓘ) is a station on Line 14 of the Paris Métro.

The station was formally inaugurated on 15 June 2007 in the presence of the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë.^[2] It was opened to the general public at just before 5:30 a.m. on 26 June 2007.^[3] It takes its name from the area of high-rise residential tower blocks known as Les Olympiades in the heart of Paris's 13th arrondissement, to the east of the station Tolbiac, a quarter of Paris that was previously poorly served by the Metro. This area also contains the Tolbiac centre of the University of Paris and the largest Chinatown within Paris.

Since the opening of the station, residents of the area, as well as staff and students at the university, can now access Saint-Lazare railway station in 13 minutes and the centre of Paris in around 10 minutes. The station entrance is at the intersection of the Rue de Tolbiac and Rue Nationale. The station served as the southern terminus of Line 14 until it was extended south to Aéroport d'Orly on 24 June 2024.^[4]
