Seongsu Station (Korean: 성수역) is a rapid transit station on Seoul Subway Line 2. It is located in Seongsu-dong in the Seongdong-gu administrative district of Seoul. It is also the southeastern terminus of Line 2's Seongsu Branch to Sinseol-dong. Trains needing to be serviced take the Seongsu Branch from this station and go to the Gunja Train Depot behind Yongdap Station.

The platform is elevated and features 4 tracks. The main circle route of Line 2 runs on the inside pair of tracks while the Sinseol-dong branch is served by the outside pair of tracks. The station has four exits and is connected to two bus routes as well as a local shuttle bus which services the various apartment complexes in the area around the station.[3] The stations services Seongsu 1ga 1 dong, Seongsu 2ga 1 dong, and Seongsu 2ga 3 dong. The area around the station is primarily commercial and light industrial but gives way to mixed-use development and residential further from station. Exits 1 and 2 service a nearby Lotte Castle apartment complex.[4]

On August 9, 2024, Olive Young was selected as the winner of the paid sales bid for the station name. The winning bid was 1 billion won. Accordingly, starting in October, the station facilities will be marked as Seongsu (CJ Olive Young) Station.
